I kegged ten gallons of 21C on Sunday and pulled a sample last night just to see where the carbonation is (and I was just eager to drink some haha).
This was a split batch between Lutra (pictured) and Verdant yeast. The last couple of brews I made, I was able to get 98% brewhouse efficiency. So for this batch, I wanted to experiment with a 40 minute mash and a really fast sparge to see if I could shorten my brew day slightly just for fun. I managed to get a 72% BE, so I was happy about that!

Overall Impression
So far, it's pretty good. My first time using a heavy dose of Rakau in a WP and it's great. Lots of peach, passion fruit, apricot — with a side of plum/mango. Pretty happy with the results.
