Do it. Someday may not turn up for years!!!!!!

Looks like a good stock there russt, nice pictures

Great pics and a cracking brew day to boot

Good pictures!

I tried this recipe once as I'm a big fan of Sarah Hughes. I found it too treacley though, and recent research I've been doing suggests much less crystal malt should be used:
