I have an OSH clone 4 days into fermentation, it was my own recipe tweeked more from Roger Protz Real Ale Almanac then GW
In the Almanac Protz lists Brewing Sugar, which I am sure would have been invert sugar, in fact in the early edition of GW & RP Brew your own real ale at home, it lists Invert Sugar. In the later dumbed down version it only lists white sugar. So based on this I used Lyle's Golden Syrup and my first trial recipe was.
15L Batch
2.2Kg Pale Maris Otter
450g Crystal Medium
300g Lyle's Golden Syrup
Hops - 18g Challenger at 60 mins, 11g EKG at 15, 11g EKG at 5, 5 grams Dry hopped for 4 days
I think choice of yeast is important and I have no idea if my choice was a good one but I went with Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley.
Water profile is also important I should think and once again guesswork but I went with Ca:180, Mg: 4, Na: 9, Cl: 127, SO4: 269
