  • Recipe request: Innis & Gunn clone

    Does anybody perhaps have a tried and tested clone recipe for either one of the following Innis & Gunn brews:
    1. Oak Aged Original
    2. Toasted Oak IPA
    3. Rum Finish
    Cheers

    No but I'm keen.

    Did a quick Google and found this thread:

    http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=190047

    "The recipe I ACTUALLY used was a part-gyle with a Scottish 70 coming in the second runnings. To do just 1 batch the recipe would be:
    5.5 gallon batch at 78% efficiency
    13 lbs Marris Otter Malt
    4 oz Chocolate Malt
    2 oz Roasted Barley
    1.5 oz of Fuggles (4.5%) at 60 mins for 19 IBUs
    Scottish 1728 Wyeast

    OG 1068
    FG 1016
    ABV of 6.7%

    Take the 1st gallon of runnings and boil it down on the stove to about 1 quart (or litre) of liquid, add this to the boil, this provides the caramel flavor and color for the beer.
    Because of this you want to calculate your water as if you were producing enough wort for 6.25 gallons of beer.

    After a month long primary rack the beer onto 2 oz of medium toasted American oak chips that have been boiled in a cup of water for 10 minutes. You can probably alter the flavor a good deal by swapping this for chips soaked in: whiskey, rye, spiced, dark or navy rum etc."

        Another clone:

        http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/62...is-gunn-clone/

        I'd first infuse the oak chips in bourbon for at least a month.

        I happen to have 330ml of 70% brewshine infused with oak, so I'll use that.

          What does part-gyle mean?

          I found similar recipes in a search on the Beersmith recipe database. I was just wondering if someone here tried and tested a recipe. The yanks sometimes have a "different" style to IPAs, where I more prefer the English type of IPAs. I do however see the recipe you listed still uses English hops.....

          One more question: do you need to buy specific oak chips treated in some or other way? Or can I use some of my red Oak off-cuts in the garage and create my own chips?
          Cheers

            You can buy oak chips from places like brewcraft. There are various oaks which impart various flavours.

            I'm about to bottle my kraken stout which had American toasted oak infused with Barbancourt Rhum (yes the spelling is correct) and then placed in the fermenter for 3 weeks

              Parti-gyle is re-use of the mash for a second beer.

                Distillique in Midrand has oak chips.

                Also various distilling and brewing items.

                    @jakeslouw, brewshine!!! I like the word....
                    @pretorjn, when I do a 'brewshine' I infuse with self toasted oak sticks 20 x20 x70mm. Give your own oak a try and report back.
