In a large brew kettle, heat 5 gallons of water to 165°F (74°C). Add the Amber, Caramel, and Pale malts to the water, stirring well to ensure no clumps.

Prepare the Mash

Maintain the mash temperature at around 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the mash uniform.

Mash for 60 Minutes

After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water (about 170°F/77°C) to collect the wort in your brew kettle. Aim for approximately 6.5 gallons of wort.

Sparge the Grains

Bring the wort to a boil and then add the Cascade hops. Boil for 60 minutes.

Boil the Wort

With 15 minutes left in the boil, add the Centennial hops. With 5 minutes left, add the Fuggle hops.

Add Centennial and Fuggle Hops

After the boil is complete, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches around 70°F (21°C).

Cool the Wort

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Pitch the American Ale yeast and seal the vessel with an airlock. Allow it to ferment at room temperature for about 2 weeks.

Ferment

After fermentation, add the oak chips to the beer for aging. Seal the vessel again and let it age for an additional 2 weeks.

After aging, siphon the beer into sanitized bottles and cap them. Allow the beer to carbonate for another 2 weeks.
