Brewer's Notes

Got this recipe from somewhere and have tried it a few times now. Very simple, very different recipe. Very earthy, good with red meat.
To 26L of water add the following for 60 min-3kg Amber Malt Extract, 150gms Light Crystal Malt, .6kg Yellowbox Honey, 30gms Fuggles Hop Pellets. Add 9 Chamomile tea bags at 35 minutes (remove at 5 mins), at 30 min add 30gms Fuggles Hop Pellets & 125gms French Oak Chips. Use 2 US 05 yeast sachets. Not 1 but 2, yes 2.

If you like something a little different give this a try.
I have made it a few times with one or two yeasts but the two yeasts win hands down every time for some reason.

Any ideas will be more than appreciated as I would like to keep making this brew and trying new things with it.

I attempted an all grain version.
LHBS were out of french oak, so I used american oak... gave it a weird bourbon flavour.
I would've swapped a bottle but you're in Vic, and mine's definitely not worth the postage!
Honestly, it was like being assaulted by flavour on three fronts, and not in a good way.
Glad yours is a winner though!
