Nothing noticeable. Just soak it in pbw if it worries you.

Thanks on this! I was thinking the same thing recently. How about bottling in beer bottles with crown caps? Is there an issue if they are consumed in a set time frame?

Well the point of air tight containers and refrigeration is to limit the likelihood of any contaminate. Lowering the temp further in the freezer given the fact that it won't freeze would be an additional step to keep your beer clean in the end. I've had good results using this with few batches...

Store it in the freezer. You can save indefinitely.

I'm with progmac. I have done it both ways now. And i like using the secondary. It has worked out well for my process. I recently made two batches of a spotted cow clone. Used a secondary for one and three+ weeks in the primary on the other. Flavor I felt was the same. Some friends thought they...

The addition of extracts late in boil or at flame out will help lighten the color. I personally have done the addition with half or more of my extract (dry and/or liquid) with 15 minutes of boil time remaining. I did this on some repeat batches and it lead to a visibly lighter finished product...

The concentrate is very strong. I had a bottle i was saving for a raspberry stout I intended to make. I accidentally knocked it off my shelf and busted the cap off. Lost at least 1/3 of the bottles contents on the floor. Luckily I was bottling a batch of whitehouse honey in the next couple...

If sanitized hydrometer, the fermenter is fine. I use a graduated cylinder. Lets me taste it as I go.

I try to have on hand what I need for 3 or 4 flavors. That way if I have the time, desire, or whatever I can make at least one that I am excited about. I've been doing the bulk purchase for several types for the past 6 months and it has served me well. I'm brewing my second batch of the day...

A Belgian triple I brewed several months back....its matured and cleared nicely.

Olfactory effects of a pint glass versus the small opening of a bottle or can.

I made a dry dock apricot blonde kit that had me add the purée to the primary two or three days into fermentation. The sugars in the purée reamp the yeast. I did add apricot extract at bottling as well. the purée gives it a decent base flavor. The addition at bottling gives it an added bump...

Pyramid apricot ale. Ok. But not convinced.

Just wait it out. Way to early to do anything at this point.

It's early. Wait it out. no concern at this point.

No. Usually they go in at the same time as the aroma hops. Check the brew schedule on the bottom right of the directions. If not there I believe it's for the last 5-10 minutes if the boil.

Ha! Three stitches in my toe as a kid from one of those things in a mud puddle I ran through!!
