Some pretty interesting information in this thread. I usually use mine until I see gunk in them, and then they go in the recycling bin.
The most recently bottled batch of beer I bottled was done with 1 full cup of agave nectar in about 4.5gallons of porter(I wanted to see what highly carbonated porter tastes like [it had an interesting mouthfeel and taste ]) It has more fermentables than a cup of table sugar. I'm a novice, first time bottling with glass bottles. No bottle bombs.
Agave nectar is a syrup. The fermentable Part of Agave nectar is sugar. 1 cup of Agave nectar has less fermentables than 1 cup of sugar because it also has some water content. It probably has 25% less fermentables than sugar.
