[Jed]

Hello all. Any one got a williams bros or caledomian 80/- recipe? All grain or extract.

I haven't but it might be worth mailing Williams Bros for a bit of guidance. They used to have a forum on their site where they seemed to be quite willing to help homebrewers with clones of their brews..
