bottled mine yesterday.
My yield was ~144oz from 18c dry rice. I drained it through jersey cotton and didn't really go overboard on pressing the rice mass. I had a spoonful og the leftover rice, which tasted like vanilla champagne. I bottled in beer bottles with crown caps and pasteurized...
I would be very uncomfortable with someone going through my recycling bin. Besides bottles, there are torn up credit card applications, bills, etc. ID theft is a real concern. If I see someone sneaking around my trash, they are going to have a very uncomfortable time explaining themselves...

So excited!
Junkie,
Unless you backsweeten with something unfermentable like splenda or lactose, the yeast will chew it up along with your priming sugar. I usually backsweeten with splenda to taste, then add my priming sugar, then bottle. *all at once*
paraphrased from a friend:
"I want you to close your eyes and picture something, okay? Picture that hot chick at the gym, the one that should be a model. She walks up to you. Smells like pine needles. really fresh. You're just standing there, and she pops a caramel into your mouth, takes a...
