Surly Wort Update

The blow off tube worked wonders during the fermentation process. The wort has been fermenting for seven days today and is down to the occasional bubble in the airlock. I replaced the blow off tube for the airlock again because I need the tube for siphoning. I plan to bottle "Blue Moonish" American Wheat Ale later today.

The oak cubes are soaking in whisky right now. I ended up getting Windsor Canadian Whisky, primarily because it was $3.50 for a fifth of a pint. I'm a bit skeptical as to how the whisky oak barrel aging will work, but since this is free wort I thought I would give it a shot.

P.S. Did anyone know there is a difference between "whisky" and "whiskey"? Apparently whiskey is used primarily in Canada, Ireland, and Scotland, while "whiskey" is used in most other locations including the United States.
