Looks good to me. The smell will be savage out the back of the LC between those hops and the bbq.

Looks good to me! Conan yeast? I think you would be playing with fire. All those times using it and all the hassle. BUT it could also turn out savage

[DEMPSEY]

Unless your sure about the conan I would leave well enough alone.

Regretting already not being able to be there...

Don't wuss out on us now. Centennial is your friend.
