In the absence of any answers, I'm going to suggest the following grain bill based on the known ingredients and have it shouted down :-)

In my defence, should I need it, I am in a hotel room in Tokyo without access to Beersmith!

Forget the ale
90% Maris Otter
1% Dark crystal
4% Biscuit
1% Caramunich
4% Munich

Now I sit back and wait ...

FWIW, I make an excellent (if I do say so) bitter with a grain bill of 96% Maris Otter, 2% Simpson's dark crystal and 2% Simpson's medium crystal.

Don't overcomplicate things. Sometimes - if not usually - simple is best.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes.

Cheers,

Oliver
