Notes
8/24/2015 - Pitched a little warm (75) and had some issues cooling down due to broken fermentation fridge.
9/23/2015 - Transferred onto 2 oz of steamed medium toast oak cubes. FG=1.020. Definitely not as clean as I wanted due to the higher initial fermentation temp. Some esters and sharpness, but hopefully that mellows out.
10/8/2015 - Sampled. Oak still wasn't as as strong as I would like it, so I'll leave it on the cubes for another couple weeks.
11/10/15 - DUMPED. Spicy phenolic character was still there, so I decided to just dump the batch.
