At the end of December, I posted a recipe for a Rye Pale Ale and got lots of good feedback from all of you. Thanks!
It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. In fact the keg is about empty. ;)
Anyway, I would like your input on revising the hop profile on this time.
The original is here: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=5270.0
I used all Citra hops the first time, but think it could be better if I used a combination. I am thinking of changing the recipe to:
