Disclaimer: While searching for a good IPA recipe, I discovered the following on a forum online. I am not claiming authorship of the recipe below. If the forum post I read is factual, and I have no reason to think it isn't, this recipe includes input from one of the Rhinegeist brewmasters. That means it probably can produce a beer very close to the original. I plan to brew it at some point to see how it turns out. For now, I'm just documenting and sharing the recipe here.
Update 06/11/2017: I've actually tweaked the recipe for my equipment and brewed a batch, following as much of the brewmaster's guidance as possible. You can see the results here.

Notes from the Rhinegeist brewmaster say that they use 20% Golden Promise malt, 2% CaraRed, 4% Flaked Rye, and 5% Vienna and mash at 150F. The brewmaster also says that they hop with 30 IBUs worth of Bravo at 60 minutes, 20 IBUs of a 2:1 mix of Centennial and Simcoe at 20 minutes, and 16 IBUs worth of a 2:1 mixture of Centennial and Simcoe at 10 minutes. At 0 minutes they and Centennial, Simcoe, and Citra then steep for 45 minutes before cooling. They dry hop with Amarillo, Simcoe, and Citra for 7-8 days. They suggest you shoot for a starting gravity of 15 Plato or 1.061 SG, and try to attenuate down to 1.9 Plato or 1.007 SG.
Mash
Mash with 8 gallons of water for 90 minutes @ 150F. Raise to 170F over 7 minutes for mash out.
Boil
Boil for 60 minutes with the hops scheduled as noted above.
Perform a hop stand by turning off the heat but waiting for 45 minutes to cool the wort after the boil.
Fermentation Schedule
Ferment at 65F for 3 days.
Ramp from 65F to 70F over 4 days.
Add dry hops on day 7.
Cold crash with a gelatin addition for 3 days.
