2.Extract 1.0 gallon of wort at the beginning of clear runoff into a 3-5 gallon pot
3.Boil the wort down until it becomes a dark mahogany brown and is bubbling with large bubbles
4.Be careful NOT to burn the maltose syrup
5.The result will be approximately 24-26 ounces of syrup
6.Re-crash the syrup by adding wort from the ongoing main boil
7.Pour the dissolved liquid back in to the main boil
8.Chill wort to 63-64F
9.Oxygenate chilled wort to 8-10PPM by diffusing pure O2 via .05 micron diffuser for 90-120 seconds. Pitch decanted yeast starter, adding chilled wort to the yeast flask to clear remaining yeast as necessary.
10.Primary Fermentation (7 days at 63F ending at 80.0 F)
11.Secondary Fermentation (3 -10 days at 78.0 F ending at 60.0 F)
12.Tertiary Fermentation (40 days at 50.0 F ending at 50.0 F)

Not yet, I'm getting ready to do it. I had to make a few changes because I wanted to use a local candi-syrup source instead of the D180. Here is a link to a lot of brewers that have made it and had a lot of success.
