Dragon's Milk Update
Checked the gravity on the Dragon's Milk yesterday and it was ~1.018. Not too shabby in my opinion and it tasted great. A bit alcoholic but that should mellow a bit and play well with the bourbon soaked oak chips I added. I soaked 2 ounces of medium toast oak in some vodka for 24 hours to get rid of some of the fresh oakiness. Then I added 4 ounces of Larceny bourbon (because I had it laying around) and soaked them for a week. Dumped it all in the primary last night and will let it go for about a week before tasting it. This one is going to be bottled since I don't want to tie up keezer space while it ages and it might make some nice Christmas presents if it turns out well.
