Notes

George Washington was a big tent guy, so that's why this recipe splits the difference on all sorts of things. And a lot of symbolism, because every good revolution does symbolism well.

Flaked stuff variety is a nod to all the grains that George tried to grow profitably. (He failed.)

Molasses because of the rum trade and how important that was to smuggling, and of course rum.

Double up on the chloride, maybe more.

Yeast is whatever. Continentals had to fight with whatever was on hand, so tally-ho!

v1.1 cut the flaked to 1# each, upped sugars to 2#. cut some d/h hops from 5 to 4 oz.
