Classic Oak Ale
by Boingk

First off - great kit! Big tin of hopped
malt extract, plus specialty grain,
hops...and in this case oak chips! Easy
to follow instructions and when made and
matured, a great beer. Interesting first
few sips, but the oak flavour mellows
with time [and consumption!]. For those
wanting a slightly less oakey ale,
perhaps use onyl half the provided
chips. Overall a very good beer - 4
stars

Still got half a doz longnecks locked up
after 6 months. I recon this one ages
brilliantly.
As directed. Only thing I would do
differently is invest in liquid yeast
next time.

Worth the effort

Made exactly to the directions (about
1.5 hours effort) and kegged after 10
days in the primary. Very strong oak
flavour in the first mouthful but
mellows as you go on. Beautiful
flavoursome beer with excellent head
retention that has made all my mates go
"Wow". Probably not a session beer
but definitely worth the extra effort
for something a bit special.

Classy

Made according to recipe but with a
Danstar Nottingham Ale instead of the
supplied Safale S-04, with the American
Oak chips added to primary, and primary
left to sit for 12 days. Turned out
great, mild bitterness with good head
and mouthfeel, and an oak taste that
starts out quite pronounced and woody at
first, but mellows beautifully as you go
on.
