I pitched the yeast the morning after brewing and the wort was at 58*. Due to colder than usual weather, it sat at 58 or so for a few days in the garage until I took it in to the house where it warmed to 68 and then took off like a geyser. I had to use a blow off tube for a few days.

I think the Munich malt really added a nice flavor to the usuall sweet hef notes. The little bit of sour makes a very interesting finish.

This yeast is now my favorite hef yeast hands down.
