- What's black grain? Something like Black Malt 1200°EBC?
- What's blended honey? Just the stuff you get from the supermarket?
- The soft dark brown sugar is just from the supermarket too?
Thanks,

black grain (crushed) 30g
soft dark brown sugar 400g
blended honey 250g
bittering hops hallertau 40g
bittering hops goldings 20g
if you can get hold of a bottle of chimay blue label then make a starter out of it but if not just use a good ale yeast eg. safale or wyeast abbey ale
final volume 15litres
boil all ingredients for 40 min then strain and adjust to 15 litres with cold water, wait to pitch yeast untill it reaches 25*c.
sit back and crack a cold one as usuall

I am thinking about trying this
Sorry folks but just to clarify changes to this i should have specified that slow boil all ingredients except yeast and grain for 40 min, steep grain in hot water for 1 hour, then strain in and sparge, the rest is as is
