Check-in point--Racking

Racked into the secondary on 11/8/05. FG was right on target. Very strong flavor--not as malty as I would have expected--"hotter" and drier than I would have though. May be due to fusel alcohols from hot fermentation (still working on finding ways to control ferment temp). Overall, okay. Eager to see how it turns out bottled.
