    Finding OG after adding fruit to secondary

    I want to add raspberries to a wheat ale. If I add them to the secondary fermentation, do I need to find a new OG? Do I just mix the berries in and take a sample? Do I need to do anything with the OG from the original wort in primary?

    Adding honey to the fermenter?

    Danger in leaving brew in fermenter for extra time after it's done?

    I'm currently out of town but have a batch of ale in the fermenter. Is there any danger in ruining my brew if I leave it in the fermenter for days after it's done fermenting? Off flavors, etc? Happy Thanksgiving :cask:

    Understanding krausen?

    I've been paying close attention to the krausen on my hefeweizen ferment. It was nice and pillowy this afternoon but has fallen to 2/3 of what it was hours earlier. Is it common for it to grow and shrink as the ferment continues? This is day #2
