Notes:
Based on the OP recipe from the Malt Miller at https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/theakstons-old-peculier-clone/ I started with the recipe from Graham Wheeler's "Brew Your Own British Real Ale", but it seems like it's a little too simple a grist, so I decided to lean more in the Malt Miller direction. Using Bramling Cross as I a) have some in stock, and b) quite like the idea of a little blackcurrant in there. I also chose the Wyeast 1469 "West Yorkshire Ale" yeast, as it sounds about right (ok, Masham is North Yorks rather than West, but it's closer than Nottingham or Windsor!)
