That's every other Keg Smash rotation, which should still be doable, even with the shoulders, even during lust. And that optimistic brew usage will go down once we lose our 4 piece, which will mean you will only have to use RJW every 12+ seconds for it to break even over SD.
The caveat is that if you're messing up your rotation and delaying Keg Smashes because you're struggling to find room for RJW, then SD will be the better bet. It is easier to use since you'll be brewing regardless.
