double diamond is there a recipe?

[torchwood brewery]

can any lads help with a DD recipe extract/partial would be great for now if it is at all possable but an all grain would be good as well.
i have seen a few aussie attempts but it just lacks somthing i remember drinking a pint in england and didn't mind it . and would love to have a go at one.

i have the old dave line book is this recipe right not looking for a clone but a good representation.

thanks in advance.

gee this is the best home brewing forum you lads are so friendly and have a fantastic sense of humour and a bit of blue humour as well .

i feel right at home here i cant stay away. it feels as if i have found my utopia
and as i cant get over to see you all you are like long lost friends.
i will have to start planning a trip over with wifey and kids rent a camper for a month and visit . will start looking in to it and get my british parsport renewed.
don,t care much for the touristy stuff but the sites smells and pub tours and castles breweries and villages is what will be on the agnda.

but barley syrup i havent seen that what is it it malt what is anthor word for it is there a subsitute.
saccarin yuk i dont like putting it in beer so 100g of lactose would be about right ? what do you think?

oh i forgot there is a shortage of lactose in aust at the moment because of the drout .any other suggestions?

excause my ignoranse about barley syrup is it the same as corn syrup?

thanks daab

I just left out the saccharine tablets from Dave's recipes and didnt really notice the difference to be honest . I think Bigster is brewing some Double diamond soon, I wonder if hes using barley syrup ?

This info is going back quite a few years as I don't know what wholesalers currently carry.......but......

If you find a homebrew shop that deals with Youngs Wholesale then they did used to stock barley syrup (think it was a 500grm tub) and maybe the shop could order some in for you.

ok after posting just realised OP is in Oz, not a lot a good that bit of info I gave then really

[torchwood brewery]

i really appreciate the help lads i have a bulk supplier here in aus who has not herd of barley syrup either that is quite strange but i will endevour to do more reseach.

LME will do for now and i will replace the saccarin tabs with 150g of lactose
i was told over here that 1 saccarin tab =(><)30g lactose if that is any help?

(><)= approxamatly

You could up your grain bill and brew the original Double Diamond which was a draught bitter at around OG 1050

thanks for the ideas
i will up the grianbill to og 1050 then and cut out the barley syrup and saccarine.
