I've tried a couple of times and the recipes are below.
You need to keep the temperature low. The brew works best when kept at 15 degrees during fermentation. I put my 30L fermenter in a large plastic container which I then filled with cold water and used bottles of frozen water changed daily to keep the water temperature low for 3 weeks.
Bintang is basically Heinekin so if you find a Heinekin clone recipe try that.
