Well, I didn't have time to make a starter...I haven't been able to brew much lately and had an free night this past weekend (which is rare!). I did rig a blow-off...48 hours into the primary and theres about 3-4 inches of krausen but hasn't gotten into the blowoff (6.5 gal carboy). The only thing is that I did a full boil and late extract addition...the boil didn't evaporate as much as I thought (started with a tad over 6 gals) and I missed my OG because of it (supposed to be 1.050, came in at 1.042)...I'm sure it'll still be ok though, just a tad lighter body...
On another note I bottled my first batch ever that same night, before I brewed the Hefe...roughly 6:30-7 pm until 3 am...man that was a long night!
