    Hello,

    I'm new here, so sorry for what is probably a simple question. What is the rDev rating? I tried to find an explanation on the site and couldn't. I tried a search engine search and couldn't figure it out. Thanks!

    Your review will have an rDev, while the beer will have a pDev, so you can compare the two if you like. I always looked at it as though the pDev is the point where a standard deviation would be, so if you're within that range you're still with most of the reviewers.

    Thanks so much. Makes sense and thanks for pointing me to the correct place with the clear explanations!
