Where My Brewers At?

We doing this thing tomorrow PM, or not?  Andrew said he had a pot in mind...do we have the math down for the conversion? 

We still on for the Porter this Saturday?  The lady of the house will be out doing wedding shower/bachelorette party stuff, so it's a perfect opportunity.

    Shrinkage is something we want to minimize.
