Think you ended up alright if the kit has the OG at 1.088 and you hit 1.090, close enough for hand grenades and brewing !
I do believe that Northern and Midwest are under the same corporate umbrella.

I'm at day 3 on this brew. Room temp in my basement is at 70 deg. fermenting temp in the big mouth is 77 deg. There is a storm going on in there. I have no problem with these temps with that yeast, I started at 68 and will let it go where ever, but I think in another day or two it will start dropping back down. I would like to secondary this coming weekend but will have to see where it is at.
