Just wondered what people thought of this recipe. The Hop schedule gets the IBUs right where I want them, I just want some feedback on the grain bill I took the grain ideas from another recipe. I would do this as a partial mash, and I would like a nice balance of malt and hoppiness. I am brewing a beer for my groomsmen, and am exploring some different possibilities now. I'd love to give them something like an IPA that's hoppy, but smooth. I also don't know if I would do this with Rye, so I'm open to suggestions.

I'm not sure as to what yeast I would use yet. Any good suggestions for an IPA? I've been using White Labs American Ale Blend for some other beers.
