Re: Rickards Red
i'd probably go with nottingham on that one.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Rickards Red
Sorry for trolling and reviving this thread.. Just wondering if you could provide any more detail on the process of brewing this recipe. Specifically, I was wondering about Mash temps, mash time, sparge temps, and boil time although I'm assuming it was 60min. Any other info would be helpful thanks!
