Calculating sugar in fresh fruit I ended up going with brewchez's suggestion, but using the refractometer seems like a great idea. I'm going to give it a shot next time. |

What about opened LME cans? I would think it might be better to remove it from the can similar to storing canned food after opening? |

[WIKI] Bottle Sanitizing Techniques - Pros & Cons Wow I can't believe never thought about needing to sanitize the bottle tree. That seems like something quite important that I was overlooking. |

Uses for spent grains I was thinking feeding it to chickens as well. It seems more and more common for people to keep chickens as pets in the city. |

Shipping beer cheaply Yeah it seems safer shipping through UPS or FedEx. I have however had a friend ship beer through USPS without issue a number of times, but I suppose its only a matter of time before he runs into a problem. |

Using champagne yeast Thanks for the info on the bottles. I would want it to be really bubbly. I was hoping to get away with capped bottles, but corked makes sense. |

Adding Bourbon flavor to a beer Yeah a barrel was really not an option. I thought about soaking oak chips in bourbon, and throwing them in there, but I figured there would be more control of the flavor if the bourbon was just poured in right at bottling. We just added an ounce or two at a time and tested until it tasted right. I guess it just seemed too easy, compared to aging in a barrel like the big guys do it. |

Salty flavor in beer? I think this sounds like a good experiment. |

Amount of Water to Boil for Wort Yeah, without the wort chiller a full boil just seems silly. Is it better to buy or build one? |

Amount of Water to Boil for Wort Is it really necessary to sterilize the room temp water not included in the boil? I have never done this and have not had issues in the past. |

Sanitizing oak chips Didn't know about the tannins issue from boiling. Good to know! |
