Just kegged mine. Finished out at 1.010. Nice smooth bitterness to it. Came out a bit darker than I was expecting.

Mine was 1.012 as near as I could tell. The vessel i use to take my samples in was leaking and i was trying to read a moving object. LOL. Also, i ended up using S-05 as my LHBS did not have what the recipe called for.

I'm at 1.014 after 2 weeks and no major signs of activity. I just moved it to the basement floor b/c the sample I pulled was super cloudy so hopefully that will help the yeast drop out a bit. no obvious off flavors but I need to let it hang in the fridge for a little bit to see how the sample tastes cold.

I am @ 1.019 from 1.062 at almost 7 days, it tore like a bat outta hell the first 4 days then settled down, the Dumb Guy Ale I did with the same yeast on April 29 is dropping clear now @ 66 in the basement

seems a little grassy right now from the sample but will probably be fine by the time I get to drinking it.

little bit yeah, but it had a substantial amount of late additions, it'll be cool

Just kegged it with a FG of 1.012. Tastes deeeeelicious! This is going to be a real solid beer.

reminds me so far a bit of the DewShnauzAle of '09

:rolf:Missed that one. Kinda reminds me of Bear Republic Hot Rod Rye. It's darker in color than Denny's Rye.I also saved the yeast and plan to do some APAs & IPAs.

I had considered it but I honestly don't think it needs it.

I'm sitting here with a pitcher of it on my computer desk. This one is definitely a winner. Mine came out a dark red.

put that camera to use man

darker than I expected, mine is still in primary

Considering what a disastrous brew day I had, this one turned out pretty damned good. I'm really liking Denny's yeast.

I'll have my DumbGuyAle featuring denny's yeast carbed up in a couple days

just kegged it yesterday. tastes very nice and hoppy and has good aroma. mine is still really cloudy b/c i never got to cold crash it prior to kegging which is usually something i like to do but simply didn't have the space for it. seems like a good amount of the cloudiness is yeast since i'm seeing a lot of it settling in a 2L bottle I filled from beer that wouldn't fit in the keg.
