Thanks terrym I'm gonna be having a go at this probably weekend. I notice your recipe says 500g of golden syrup but I can only find 454g tins. Would this make much difference and if so could I add some brewing sugar to make up the difference?

Thanks. I've never tried a porter but I've heard they can be a bit on the sweet side?
