Looking back, we don't have a wort chiller, (need to get one). The temp was at the 72 degree range, for fermentation.
Didn't have a problem with the yeast. We used White labs, and it pushed the blow off tube assembly, off the carboy twice.
I can't wait to drink it, just need a night where I can sit down and enjoy it.

Did you make a yeast starter for this beer? Fusels can be made during reproduction when a yeast is underpitched. If you went from a small White Labs vial culture to a huge blow of the top of the fermenter culture at high temps you might have a recipe for hot alcohols. Maybe try a big starter and cooler temps the next time you make the beer if you notice that flavor and don't like it.
