Thanks all for comments, looks like I'll start off with synth oil this weekend, glad I asked about it. Tom, hope the hood fits well, it was great to meet you this weekend, and yes, the beers tasted just fine. I neglected to ask if you needed the 350 hood numbers, let me know if you were expecting them.
