Classic Oak Ale

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

wow

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.
