Oak Aged - IPA

Extract/Partial Mash Brewing
1

Would like to brew an Oak Aged IPA similar to that of the Southern Tier Oak Aged Unearthly. I like the malt forward, yet balanced flavor with still a significant amount of hops and to top it off, that oak aged flavor.

Can anyone suggest a recipe where the ingredients can be bought at NB? I do not plan on soaking my oak chips in bourbon, just using the chips in raw form.

Any ideas appreciated. If anyone has done this clone before any advice or tips are greatly appreciated!

dunno about the recipe (maybe an English IPA with American hops?), but soak your chips in vodka for a couple of days to sanatize if you only want the oakiness. If you don’t you could be introducing any number of beasties to your hard work.
