Racked 8/3/07

Racked to secondary with dry hops (cascade aroma tablet, 1 oz. cascade plugs, 1 oz. E.K. Golding pellets). Forgot the Irish Moss and it is a very cloudy orange color. First taste is good. Surprisingly mellow beer. Should be a nice casual beer. Not much bitterness. A lot of body, perhaps too much. Would possibly leave out the Carapils in the future. Shortly after racking to secondary, I noticed a small amount of foam on the surface, figured it was just from agitating the carboy. Checked back a few hours later and the foam had grown. The next day, the foam was about 1/2 inch thick and it was actively fermenting again. Airlock bubbles are about 2 seconds apart. Yeast is obviously churning around inside the carboy and the temp has gone up by 4 degrees. Not sure why it started fermenting again, I didn't add any sugar. Perhaps just stirring it up reactivated the yeast and it wasn't actually done previously. In a related note, this batch did take a lot longer to start initial fermentation than most of my other batches, even the ones with this same yeast.

The beer is looking nice in the secondary. It is surprisingly clear now and I'm really looking forward to tasting/bottling it next weekend.

Tasted it. Has a very very grassy flavor now which will hopefully mellow with time because it is too much right now. Need to bottle this right away. It still has tons of body, too much really. The flavor is weird now. Doesn't seem to have the character it had before the secondary.

I wish I hadn't dry hopped it for so long. The grassy aroma/flavor is very distracting and overpowering. I feel that if it was decreased by about 75% it would be perfect. The carbonation has really helped to reduce the overwhelming mouth feel of this beer, but you can still detect it. It's almost like a syrup-feel that lingers after you swallow. It has a ton of malt and hop flavor and a good bit of bitterness as well. Some things about this beer are great, but the unpleasant aspects are still too noticeable for me to enjoy this on a regular basis. Hoping to age it for a while and get something better.
