The Wetpak Classic Oak Ale, is a beer designed with the classic old English style of brewing and aging in oak barrels in mind. The finished beer is smooth on the palate, not too bitter with a honey aroma coming through on the nose. The oak imparts a slight vanilla overtone to the final flavour.

Wetpak Kits are formulated as extract brewing kits. They require a little more effort but the end result is definitely worth it. To make a Wetpak beer you will require:

• Access to a stove or hot plate (one of those little butane gas powered camp stoves will work well).
• A pot or saucepan that is large enough to hold 6 litres of liquid.
• A spoon for stirring.
• A sieve, colandar lined with butter muslin or a coffee plunger.
  
• 1 hour of your time to monitor your brew while it simmers on the stove.
  

The Classic Oak kit comes with:

• 3kg of malt extract with the bittering hops already added.
• a foil bag containing finishing hops.
• a bag of finishing grain.
• a bag of oak chips.
  
• Instructions (To view the detailed instructions that come with the kit, click "HERE".)
• A sachet of  Fermentis' Safale S-04 yeast so brew this one between 12°C to 25°C (optimal range is 15°C to 20°C).
  

*** Note: Upon opening the can, you may see what looks like candied sugar or a green crust. Don't panic, it's just the fresh hops within the can that have come to the surface of the malt. They're supposed to be there! ***
