Hi Herb,
I just posted here on an 80% Rye from JH. I used only sour and no yeast. It might be a guide for you. This is the link, please feel free to comment whilst you're there.

Thank you for your reply. I did wee your comment before but ocouldnt find a reply button. I will compare your chart numbers with the JHamelman recipe for substitution amounts. After trying it out I'll post on the TFL web site. Thanks again
