Comments:
A clone recipe for Tribute, a traditional Cornish Pale Ale
Dan Jones (verified owner) –
Used this recipe for my first go at BIAB (using the fine crush option and reducing water quantity by 10% to account for reduced efficiency) . Really easy and enjoyable to make, bought a few bottles of Tribute to compare and it is very close to the original.

Was going to write an average review 2 weeks ago. So pleased I waited, the malt sweetness has come out and the hop bitterness has faded. Overall a well balanced pale ale best drink on a warm evening and for the price it’s good value per pint.

Let it sit for a couple of weeks. It’s a great beer. Clarity was second to none. Really impressed with it.

Numbers on this recipe only come in at 3.9% on brewfather with my G40 profile – First time I’ve had a recipe that’s no way near expected. OG was 1.036 in 23l so way off . it’s in fermenting so I’ll update with how it tastes… but not really as described.

Hey Graham, Just checked it out now, at 80% mash efficiency, which you should be hitting in a G40 the OG should be around 1.042.That is through the Grainfather software. If you have not hit these numbers I would look at water treatment, this can be especially important for this beer style.
