I'm a home brewer and home vintner as well as a fairly knowledgeable graphic designer, web developer and general computer nerd.

Using trub directly vs. yeast rinsing. I would imagine that if you dumped the trub from a belgian dark into a blond that could affect your color profile. Or if you dump IPA trub into a low hopped cream ale or something it could affect bitterness. So in those cases washing would help minimize these factors. |

What are the most citrusy hops? If you're in or near Wisconsin pick up Ale Asylum's Bedlam it's an all Citra IPA. Personally I don't quite understand Citra hops. If you want citrus in your beer why not use lemon/lime/orange zest? |

Degrees Plato vs Specific Gravity I know they both measure the density, I was just wondering if ABV calcs or other things were easier with one vs the other. |

How low can a beer's final gravity be? Brettanomyces yeast are also capable of consuming the more complex sugars that Saccaromyces can't. Also the FG is consistently in the 0.995 range for the wines I make. |

Why use a synthetic bag for BIAB? This is one of my concerns with attempting BIAB. Maybe I'm paranoid but I'm not a fan of heating plastic that comes in contact with things I'm going in ingest. |

Is there a limit to how many times you re-use bottles? You're obviously not brewing enough. |

Adding potassium metabisulphite (i.e. sulfites) to prevent oxidation? Thanks for the info, I've yet to have an issue with it, but maybe I'm just lucky. |
