Innis and Gunn

Had an Innis and Gunn Edinburgh Ale which is aged 77 days in an oak barrel traditionally used to mature malt whiskey.

Very nice, that oak is nice and round. Would recomend trying if you can (not cheap mind you, 4 bucks a stubby here)

Never heard of it, but will definitely keep an eye out.

In the meantime, I'll just do another homebrew with some oak chips added.

Oliver, the oak chip thing sounds interesting.

Got a recipe you can share ?

cheers

Tommo,

Check out my No.46 Cooper's Real Ale at http://www.homebrewandbeer.com/ourhomebrews.html

It's not mentioned in the tasting notes (some tasting notes they must be, hey!), but there was just a hint of oakiness. Next time I might try racking onto the oak chips (and possibly dry hopping at the same time) and leaving for a week or two.

Cheers,

Oliver
