	Awesome!  I'll bring my keg, CO2, bottles, and capper to the brew.  I
have a very small amount left in that keg and I really want to get it in the
competition.  Any left after that can be consumed.

	BTW, is the brew Sat or Sun?

	I wanted to bring a little to Eugene recently, so I despensed some into
a 32oz EZ Cap bottle with about three inches of head space.  It was slightly
less carbonated than it seemed to be from the glass, but was still good.  We
drank it only two days after I filled the bottle (didn't want it to oxidize).
I didn't realize the beer gun was designed to purge the bottle; that sounds
excellent.

	Will do.  I will also bring some caps.
