Brew night - Heady Topper Clone

Iv'e been waiting for the weather to break for this project.  It is a mega brew with nearly a pound of hops and 10 lbs of extract.  I don't normally buy kits, but this one from Northern Brewer got my attention.  Did a 2-generation yeast starter over the last week, then brewed tonight.  Two 15 minute hop stands after flame out, then there will be two dry hop additions at 2 weeks and 4 weeks, the second just a few days before it goes in the keg.   I have it set up with a blow off tube as fermentation will be borderline violent with all those sugars!  You home brewers know what I'm talking about.

I'm thinking party when I tap this thing, maybe a brisket cook around Memorial day. Can't wait =)
