Added the oak, hope it ain't broke

I went to go see how the pellicle was doing and found my stopper and airlock had popped out of the carboy (5/7/09). That was lame. I am not all that worried because this beer style needs some oxygen during the long secondary fermentation, but still it was lame. Since I had not added any oak, I decided this was the time to do so. I took 0.7 ounces of oak chips, boiled them in 3 changes of water to reduce there oakiness (i.e. tannins) and added them to the carboy and sealed it back up. Pretty sweet huh?
