When a recipe just states 'crystal malt'...

If there's sugar in the recipe you have GW really mean invert syrup as when he wrote BYOBRA he through table sugar would be easier for HBers to get hold of - even though invert sugar is easy enough to make

Can you buy invert syrup?

is it like malt syrup? i believe Shepheard Neame use malt syrup in some of their brews but couldn't find it anywhere when i was planning a spitfire clone

found this recipe but wondered if you can get it off the shelf?
