Many thanks for the very quick reply,

No probs

I can give you the 23 litre version if you want, although I guess it's simple enough to covert..

I'm planning 10 gallons of a TTL clone in a couple of weeks.

I'm still thinking about what yeast to use but this wyeast 1968 sounds good. I'm going to add a little crystal malt and put the styrians in at the end of the boil.

TTL is pale. You sure you want to be putting crystal in that?....unless it's a pale crystal...

The last time I used all pale malt in a beer it came out yellow, to me TTL has a bit of an amberish hue.

Wheeler's recipe has pale only, but, you know, breweries have been known to lie! I heard somewhere (I know where but I'm not divulging my source) that every word that comes out of a certain Suffolk brewery is a lie, so when Roger Protz asks for their recipes...he gets bullshit. A certain brewery that professes to use all malt for some reason has huge deliveries of glucose!! What on earth for!!??

I was in the Fat Cat - Norwich over the weekend. They had TTL on tap there. I have to say, it was a great pint, but looking at the colour and flavour of it, I struggle to see how it can be just pale malt. Don't get me wrong, the TTL I made was delicious, but I found the real TTL darker, softer and less malt accent.
