Thanks aspro, that an old one but I still reckon it's a good one. Sometimes simple works really well.

I have almost exactly the same recipe currently in the fermenter. Only diff is Green Bullet for bittering to about 23 IBU.

I thought the Trad Ale (first time used) was great to work with, beautiful clear runoffs, high efficiency. Only thing for this style I thought the colour a bit dark, more like Maris Otter. Still think it'll make a fine beer, but next time I might try cutting it with a Pils malt. (Unless it turns out to be utterly awesome, of course... :chug: )

I didn't mention the 20% sugar in mine, as I'm aiming for a CPA clone.
