Well i woke this morning with the urge to brew some more so without any planning i started weighing grains and heating water. Here's what i made, 25 L at 1062
5kg Golden Promise
1KG Maris Otter
200 grm Biscuit Malt
250 grm Melanoidin Malt
400 grm Carapils
50 grm Roasted Barley
150 grm Chocolate Malt
52 grm Northdown 7.9% 60 mins
17 grm Syrians 15 mins
Protofloc 15 mins
Not quite sure how the syrians will work with the Northdown but it should be interesting

Cheers guys, had a busy 2 days. I did 2 brews and kegged and bottled some of my Fools Gold and still had time to get very drunk last night
This one has come out through the airlock already and i'm to sick to face up to cleaning it right now

I had considered dumping this a while ago when keg space was getting tight but i just upped my drinking pace
Had a pint of it now and it is malt heaven and a beautiful dark ruby colour. A nice beer but patience needed, i think i'll brew this again, maybe in September with a bit of crystal malt and put it away for christmas.
