Well, I just tried my first sample. I brewed this 11/17/2013, using 3724 and 0644. I co-pitched the yeast and left it in my attic in the primary bucket. Kegged it tonight and tasting my sample. Extremely interesting. I pick out some tropical fruit (pineapple, perhaps?) with definite cherry...

Nothing bad will happen if you use a blowoff. Something bad might happen if you don't. Why take the risk?

Just brewed up a batch, to rave results. I followed recipe exactly and this has been the best extract beer I've ever made. Curious what other extract users have gotten for FG on this, though. My OG was 1.06, FG 1.02. I waited a few days but didn't seem to go below this. I kegged in hopes that...
