What is the remaining 5% mystery grain?  The recipe only added up to 95%

It's a Heironymystery.

I don't have my copy in front of me, but I remember seeing a recipe that had a percentage of simple sugar to be added late that was listed separate from the grain bill - I wonder if this is the one.

It's not.  You could either make it 80% pale malt (I would) or you can adjust all of them slightly to hit 100%.

The missing 5% is torrified wheat or malted wheat

It would be nice if the publisher created an errata page for this and other books.

who needs an errata page when the author will just come on here to enlighten us?

Thanks for taking the time Stan!

Personal apologies are always good, if humbling, but an errata page is also essential. That or don't make the dang mistakes to begin with.
