A quick question - when you steep the grain, how much water do you steep it in? somewhere between 2 & 4 Litres?
Do you know how close this is to the original?
Cheers.

I can't imagine it being very close, it looks as though it would have far too much flavour.

The grain bag is thrown in to the brewing kettle, so for a 25L brew, 50g crystal malt grain steeped in 25L water.

The recipe can't be too bad as I think you will find the recipe VERY similar to that in one of those brew-on-premisis places.
