Seems like there is some solid interest in sake drinking (and I was impressed that three people had brewed sake three or more times), so hopefully most of you have been enjoying the play-by-play on my first batch. The process has been pretty interesting for me so far, and it has really made me appreciate how relatively simple making other alcoholic beverages (beer/mead/cider) is in comparison.
To the people who have brewed sake, how did it turn out? Any tips or pitfalls?
I'm planning on splitting my batch to get some different styles (clear/cloudy/carbonated etc...). Since I have extra koji spores I may even brew a second batch in the fall/winter, depending on how well this batch turns out. At this point though I doubt it will become a yearly thing like my annual batch of cider.

I wonder who the other two were who voted "three or more times?" Sound like my kinda guys! =)
How does my sake turn out? Great!
Tips and pitfalls: you've read all of them already in my guides, dude.
My temp's crept up towards the end and due to some unforeseen circumstances I had to leave it in the primary for a couple of extra weeks (I know, I know) so I am left with something that is overly sour. I am going to try and find something that I can cut it with to balance the sourness, but the juices I have on hand haven't shown a lot of promise.
