- Tasting Notes
- so far so good, after 3 days on chips its very subtle in oak and whiskey but malty
This was my shot at Innis and Gunn oak aged beer.
I love this beer due its all round complex but very subtle flavor profile.
My recipe for 5 uk gallons ( 23 litres )
6kg Maris Otter pale malt
400grm Torrified Wheat
300grm Brittish Caramalt
250grm Biscuit Malt
15grm Chocolate Malt
Mashed with 21.8 litres of 72c for 90 mins and batch sparged with 20.5 litres to achieve 6.5 uk gallons pre boil.
Hop additions:
43grm Magnum @14% for 60 mins
14grm Amarillo @10.4% for 20 mins.
Let ferment for 7 days at 68f then transferred to secondary on top of whiskey and rum soaked oak chips ( 57grm) that had been soaked for 12 weeks prior.
Tasted after 3 days on chips is good, very malty with just a hints of citrus from amarillo and subtle oak and whiskey flavor so far.
This will probable spend another week on the chips then bottled and left for 2 months before cracking and ( hopefully ) enjoying.
