The mash temperature is far too low for complete saccharification (it just manages to kill the proteins that give the beer a head), and it uses far too much sugar in proportion. I'm not sure what the Guarana beans do (apart from making it less beer-like, I suppose). In general, I wouldn't even bother trying this recipe. Note that just about *all* available beer recipes are "open source". I've never seen one that restricted distribution. Much better ideas are to be had at the Australian Craftbrewer's web site, http://oz.craftbrewer.org/. I have many more links at http://wwww.lemis.com/beer.html.
