Drat, out of choc malt. Well, had 28g left in a pack. Nearest thing I have is black, so 72g of black has gone in as well.

Hell yeah, know that feeling...

Bottled up my Christmas ale yesterday, had a taste whilst bottling of course, had a bit of a headache this morning. Means it is probably bang on.

Good luck with this one Gricey, let us know how it goes, sounds like a biggun!

Hope so, though in my brewday thread I missed the OG by 5 points. And have a bit less of a brew length! It'll be fine though.
