Oak Wood Chips
Adds a pungent woody flavor. Adding oak chips (which is done in the fermenter, not the mash tun) can add some interesting flavors to your homebrew as well as acting as a surface area to accelerate aging. To provide aged-in-oak flavor. Used in some IPA to simulate flavors from ocean passage to India.

Irish Moss - last 10 mins of boil (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

Imperial Yeast B64 Napoleon
Imperial Yeast B64 Napoleon
This yeast is an insane wort attenuator. Napoleon will destroy the sugars in your saison and farmhouse beers – even the ones in which most brewer’s strains have no interest. When all is said and done, Napoleon produces very dry, crisp beers with nice citrus aromas. Yeast settling times can be long, usually requiring filtration for bright beers.
Notes
Mashed at 147F for 90 mins. 90 min boil. Fermented at 68F for 3 days and gradually raised temp to ~75F by end of 1st week. Soaked light oak chips in 1 cup gin & 0.25 cup vermouth for one month in advance. Soaked fresh lime peel and lemongrass in 1 cup gin & 0.25 cup vermouth for 7 days in advance. Racked to secondary after 2 weeks of primary. Added dry hops, oak chips along with their gin/vermouth, and also the gin/vermouth with lime peel & lemongrass strained out. After one week, bottled to 3.5 volume carbonation.

Terrific

I was inspired by a similar beer I recently had from Upright Brewing, so I thought I'd take a hack at it, much like US diplomacy these days. http://www.uprightbrewing.com/uploads/9/1/9/6/9196638/ostinato.pdf Although it's not as complex as the original, I'm really happy with the result, it really screams of summer. Full of flavor, yet still light, dry, effervescent, and refreshing.
