Just wanted to add my experience to the list... this is the most active thread I've found on the topic since I've been researching...
I too had my first brew of Caribou Slobber from the NB deluxe kit. IT came with the Danstar Windsor Dry Yeast. I wish I would have known... I just tasted my 4 day old hydro sample and its a little sweet for me (hopefully the bitterness mellows like most have said). OG 1.052 and FG 1.020 (calling it final since ferm has stopped). I used a brew belt and temp controller to keep it at 68*F.
I tried rousing some yeast yesterday and raising temp to 70, but no go.
Not sure if its worth it to pitch a liquid starter in of a higher attenuating yeast to maybe drop it a few more points.
