does that affect flavour?
For the most part, i don't think it would.
butIf you had designed a recipe for 80% BH efficiency and it ends up at 40% - then yes, I imagine it would affect the flavor.
But If you''re shooting for an OG of 1.055 but it comes out 1.035 - then that could be an issue. Although, if you're shooting for 1.085 and it comes out 1.065 - the finished beer won't meet your expectation, but it's probably still pretty good.
