Subject: Ancient Nubians Drank Antibiotic-Laced Beer
People have been using antibiotics for nearly 2,000 years, suggests a new
study, which found large doses of tetracycline embedded in the bones of
ancient African mummies.
What's more, they probably got it through beer, and just about everyone
appears to have drank it consistently throughout their lifetimes, beginning
early in childhood.
While the modern age of antibiotics began in 1928 with the discovery of
penicillin, the new findings suggest that people knew how to fight
infections much earlier than that--even if they didn't actually know what
bacteria were.

Subject: Extract of Maple Syrup
I was wondering if anybody happens to know the predicted extract of
maple syrup.
I was thinking of brewing a maple syrup porter or stout but I've been
unable to find a value for the extract in terms of specific gravity per
pound of maple syrup per gallon of wort.
Cheers,
