Well here it is and it is very close to the original. I think the key ingredient is the Brewferm Special B and that is what gives it the unique taste. The sugar I used was Sainsbury's Light Soft Brown Fairtrade which is unlike most others in that it is almost white in colour. I cannot find an equivalent here in France so I will have to get some sent from England before I can brew it again. The recipe is for 19 litres


Pale Malt 7 EBC 3800 grams 74.9%
Wheat Malt 3.5 EBC 475 grams 9.4%
Brewferm Special B 350 EBC 550 grams 10.8%
Sugar, Sainsbury's Light Soft Brown Fairtrade 0 EBC 250 grams 4.9%

Hop Variety Type Alpha Time grams Ratio
Northern Brewer Whole 8.2 % 90 mins 30 grams 75%
Styrian Goldings Whole 4.5 % 15 mins 10 grams 25%

Final Volume: 19 Litres
Original Gravity: 1.065
Final Gravity: 1.014
Alcohol Content: 6.7% ABV
Total Liquor: 28.7 Litres
Mash Liquor: 12.1 Litres
Mash Efficiency: 80 %
Bitterness: 30.3059732527697 EBU
Colour: 81 EBC
Good luck to anyone tries it. Please let me have some feed back good or bad.

Do you invert the sugar, or just throw it in the boil?

I boiled the sugar for 30 minutes with citric acid, I think it improves the brew.
