Old Speckled Hen Recipe

[NeilArge]

G'day all

Just wondering how your Old Speckled Hen clone beers went. I want to put something down like OSH after having one last week and put together the recipe below after reading this thread and doing a bit of other research. I'm just wondering what you think of putting a bit of Special B in it. I think it might help the overall character of the beer. Waddayathink? I don't have any EKG on hand so just going with Challenger and Fuggles.

Cheers
