Quick, what's .107 (which is what I use) times 1.25, inverted? Gosh, pretty durn close to 7.46. Either will get you close enough for government work.

Fotunately I had my mug in my left hand when I read this. So when the Mead spat out of my mouth, it went into the mug and not into the keyboard. I've cleaned a keyboard of beer and wine, but Mead would be a sticky mess.

A pox upon your house - may your next batch taste somewhere between Steel Reserve Malt Liquor and Chateau Mad dog and may your next lover be a New York Yankee fan who drinks T.J. Swan.
