When fermentation was complete Specific Gravity Beg. 1.071 Ended at 1.012. Tasted it, and decided to add 1 oz.East Kent Goldings, and 1 oz. Northern Brewer, run through coffee pot, with 10 cups of water, collected, and added to fermenter. Put 3 oz. of white oak chips in same coffee pot; collected 6 cups of oak tea, added to fermenter. Why? 1. Wanted more hop flavor. 2. The Oak Chips gave no oak flavor, but did smooth the IPA out quite fast, making it drinkable sooner. SRM 13 Bottom Line it was JUST GREAT.
