Ah ha!

There were a few of us looking for some Brains recipes a while back! How accurate is this recipe and where did it come from?

Still looking for a recipe for The Rev James which is their best beer IMHO.

Thanks,

Dean.

Also this recipe comes out at a colour more like 20 EBC and not 35 for me?

TBH I'm not sure where I got it. It just happened to be in my database. I didn't make it up, so I found it somewhere. I don't clone many brews, so don't know how accurate it is either.
I assume it was from Norm's Real Ale Almanac sticky.

OK, I used the Search function (it's that thing in the top right of the page that's labelled SEARCH) and found it here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20133&hilit=Brains+SA&start=30
