This recipe kit DOES NOT  include yeast, priming sugar or grain bags.  However, we do give you yeast options at the top of the page. This recipe was designed using Wyeast 1272 American Ale. Using an alternative yeast may result in slight variations in attenuation and final gravity.

Oak Chip Instructions:  we recommend sanitizing the oak chips prior to adding these chips to the secondary fermenter.  Use 2 ounces for lighter whiskey barrel flavors or 4 ounces for heavier whiskey oak flavors.  Simply boil the barrel chips in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes and then add the chips to the fermenter during secondary fermentation.  You can leave the chips in secondary fermenter for up to 3 - 4 weeks to extract desired flavors.  

Priming Sugar:  For priming sugar, we recommend the following:

• 5 oz Priming Sugar
• Carbonation Drops

Grain Bags:  If you need a grain bag, we recommend the following:

• Brew In A Bag Nylon Straining Bag
• Brew In A Bag Straining Bag With Handles

Hop Straining Bags:  If you need hop straining bags, we recommend the following:

• Small Muslin Hop Boiling Bag
• Fine Mesh Nylon Hop Bag With Drawstring

* We strongly recommend adding an ice pack when ordering liquid yeast.  Transit times can vary and liquid yeast works best when it remains cold until the day you brew.
