Transferred to secondary fermenter on 1/3/99; gravity at this time is
1.024; the beer has a nice bitterness to it and a pleasant hop aroma.
Added boiled oak chips and 2 oz. of Cascade leaf to secondary. After
racking into secondary and adding hops and oak chips the yeast really
took off again and started fermenting vigorously; I replace the
airlock with a blowoff tube for a few days after which the airlock
was put back in. After three weeksin the bottle the beer has a
wonderful hop and oak aroma. The bitterness starts out very smooth
and ends with a nice hop flavor. Retains a beautiful head all the way
to the last sip.
As wonderful as this beer is one might want to use less oak chips
(perhaps only 1-1.5 oz.) or have a shorter secondary fementation
period.
