Walter,

You are fortune in being able to try 15!!!! Moennig barrels. What can those
of us who live in the hinterlands do that is reasonable in terms of time and
shipping costs? Trying three, then three more three weeks later wouldn't be
the same as being able to line up all the ducks in a row and going through
an elimination and selection process.

Ideas from others who have gone through this process while selecting mpc'c
or barrels are welcome. How have you dealt with the logistics?
