2/20/21 - Adjusted grain bill to bring ratios back to original recipe. 12/24/20 - Adjusted grain bill again for 61% eff - which is what I've been getting with this recipe. Increased attenuation to 85%match actual as well. 4/11/20 - Adjusted grain bill for 6% abv at 63% eff (avg. I've been getting on pilot system). https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/flatbed-pale-ale/ 3/11/23 - Adjusted grain bill to drop this to 5% abv at 71% eff - Tastes better as a lower ABV beer. 4/13/24 - Added .5 Cara 60 to bring BG:GU into alignment with style. Reduced initial hop charge from .4 to .2oz each and reduced boil from 90 to 60 min.
