Notes

This version is scaled down to 5 gallons and down from 73% efficiency to 60. Malt and hop additions were adjusted slightly to make for more round numbers. This calculator has the beer finishing a couple points higher than the posted recipe. Added a little more honey to put it at 6.3% abv.

Taken from AHA website, Clifton Ellis's "Just Rye'te" pale ale which won gold at GABF ProAm 2016. Inspired by 3 floyds zombie dust. This recipe swaps out citra for vic's secret. Brewed in honor of the late Virgil "Vic" Bodrey.
