It went really well. Finished at about 73% efficiency (1.056). I have started using yeast energizer, and I think it makes my fermentation kick in faster. If you add some to the starter a couple hours before pitching, the starter will be really active when you pitch. I had bubbles in the blowoff bucket 4 hours after pitching.
