DRYHOPPING & OAKING

2009.08.21

UPDATE: Kaufman Imerial IPA

Today I exchanged the 5lb CO2 tank and have added begun dryhopping the Kaufman Imperial IPA. There is a full 5 gallon keg and roughly 3 gallons in the second. I will be taking advantage of the kegs more this time. I have been curious to recreate something similiar to the
Oaked Un-Earthly Pale Ale by Southern Tier. So I have also added an ounce of oak cubes from morebeer.com to the 3 gallon keg to try it out. I will let this go for a week or so (depends on Leland's schedual and when I can make it back over there) and then start dryhopping the copper monster. It is mellowing out over time and I look fwd to moving to the bottling stage with that brew.
