Today both my IPA and california common were ready for their respective next steps.  I racked the IPA from the secondary to my second corny keg.  I’d dry hopped it, but that didn’t add as much aroma as I expected.  It was still fantastic!  Since I’d aged it in the secondary for about 10 days I just threw the corny straight in the fridge and started force carbonating it.  I’m really looking forward to the first pint.  The color was a little lighter than I expected, but a very minor issue in the grand scheme of things.

The california common was ready to be racked to the secondary and dry hoppped.  It was a little more bitter than I expected, but still good.  It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the secondary.  I’m going to bottle this one - I discovered that my spare fridge in the garage can only store two corny’s.  It’s a side-by-side and I don’t think I could get three in there.  But it’ll be good to have some beer than I can easily share.

I think its time to brew another dark beer.  I’m thinking about trying a nut brown ale…or maybe another stout and throwing some oak chips in.  It seems everything these days is oaked.
