βœ… Beginner-friendly with step-by-step brewing support

The Oak Aged IPA is inspired by traditional English-style India Pale Ales, delivering a bold hop bite balanced by subtle oak character. Toasted oak chips lend light woody and vanilla notes, adding depth without overpowering the beer.

Classic hop varieties provide firm bitterness and earthy, floral aromatics, while a clean malt backbone keeps the beer structured and drinkable.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Oak Aged IPA at home:

  • 7.5 lb Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
  • Cascade (Bittering) Hop Packet
  • Willamette (Late Bittering) Hop Packet
  • Goldings (Aroma) Hop Packet
  • Steeping Grains
  • Grain Steeping Bag
  • Toasted Oak Chips
  • Your choice of yeast (dry yeast, liquid yeast, or no yeast if you have your own)

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 5-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Oak Aged IPA follows a traditional IPA brewing process with an added oak aging step:

  • Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops according to the recipe
  • Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until fermentation is complete
  • Optional Step: Add toasted oak chips during fermentation as instructed
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 5–6 weeks

Allowing the oak chips to steep during fermentation adds subtle barrel character without overpowering the hop profile.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
  • Fans of traditional and English-style IPAs
  • Homebrewers interested in oak-aged beer styles
  • Drinkers who prefer firm bitterness with subtle wood character

Because it’s brewed in larger volume, this kit is well suited for sharing, aging slightly longer, or enjoying how oak character evolves over time.

  • Batch Size: 5 gallons
  • ABV: ~7.0%
  • Style: India Pale Ale
  • Bitterness: High
  • Color: Golden amber
  • Yeast: American Ale Yeast
