RCE update - MrBandGuy and FedoraDave

[FedoraDave]

With a few fits and starts, we're nailing down our recipe, and I'm pretty excited about it. A variation on one of MrBandGuy's recipes for an American West Coast Red, we're adding rye and switching the hops out with some New Zealand varieties to make a kind of hybrid Red Rye.

It should be an interesting beer when we're done, and I'm really hoping for success in making it another great RCE addition to the ever-growing Fedora Brauhaus stable of house brews.

I hope all the other participants are as eager about their collaborations. Thanks for getting involved!

Interested to see how the NZ hops play with Rye.

So are we! It'll be a bit more tame than a typical hop forward rye PA we figure. Or it'll be confusing to the palette. Only time will tell!

[FedoraDave]

I'm brewing this today! I'm really interested in tasting the result.

[MrBandGuy]

I'm resurrecting this zombie because I'm finally getting around to brewing it. That only took, what, 6 months!

It was a pretty good beer, as I recall. Overall, though, I'm not a big fan of the fruity hops, especially if they're contributing the primary flavors to a beer. That's just my own preference, though. YMMV.
