(Because some people were interested I started a new thread on this as the other one was a bit messy, so please keep it on topic 
)
I finally got around to brewing this last night and it was my third brew on the 3V herms. Must have been third time lucky as I had no problems at all, (pump didnt fail) and I hit all my targets spot on.
Only problem I did have is that my 2 litre DME starter was still active so I couldn't let it seperate out to pour off the beer so had to pitch the whole thing. Hopefully the extra 2 litres into a 19 litre batch won't efect the overall taste too much.
I used Belgian Dark candi syrup instead of sugar, as I had an order coming from Nev anyway and he sells it. I poured my 2 cups of wort into a jug with the syrup to thin out the syrup and then tipped this into my blender with the raisons, and munched that shit up good.
I used Halertau as I couldn't get any Vanguard for my aroma hops and added them at 10 mins after flameout and then whirlpooled. But dinner was ready so let it sit for a good 30 mins before draining via plate chiller to fermenter. Going on the taste of the wort I think that was a good move.
The wort had a very nice sweet toffee caramel sort of taste and Im looking forward to trying this when its done. If it turns out ok I will put it into the recipe DB
