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 a week in the bottle it is slightly carbonated. The beer has a strong oak flavor to it but is still very bitter and yummy. og - 1.060 fg - 1.012
