Well... just as an update: Brew day was on Saturday... nice hour long boil, quick chill (about 15 minutes), got wort in carboy... shook it up really good, shook my e-flask starter which started fizzing. Pitched the yeast not knowing if it was actually going to do anything and WOAH! In about 8 hours I had VERY aggressive fermentation starting. It is also the first time I ever used a blowoff tube and am so grateful I finally took that step.
Never seen anything like it. So much energy, the temp went up from 68 to roughly 74deg with no environmental temp changes. Very excited to try this beer!
