You are eating breakfast during the sugar rest and question if you have a drinking problem,( every brewer knows porter goes well with eggs over-easy) and your brewing partner says," Problem? We don't have a problem", we still have beer".

You wonder if 30 gallons of porter and 30 gallons of IPA and 6 gallons of Cyser is enough for your wedding.

The only glass you'll clean must hold at least 5 gallons and be carboy shaped. OK, at least hold 16oz. and be pint glass shaped.
