On a more serious note, I still want to help though now I am at a loss. I am just slightly above useless in Garb making, and only slightly above that in leatherwork, and I seriously doubt the college is going to allow a brewing demo, I mean it would go over big with the students but I dont think we would get asked back (Yes i am joking I wouldnt consider breing at a school)
