What is a collector of beer bottles called?
They are merely referred to as glass bottle collectors. Some collect milk bottles, others collect beer bottles, still others collect antiques glass bottles.
When purchasing wine supplies, should I purchase extra corks for the bottles?
You will invariably lose or ruin a certain number of corks. It should be less than five percent however. Since corks won't be overly expensive you should just add a few extra to your order. That's a matter of choice, but corks aren't expensive and you would eventually need more corks any way. So if you order some extra corks it's not going to be all that expensive.
How much is a flat of beer?
A "slab" or "case" of beer is usually 24 bottles or cans. In some places, cans come in 18 or 30 packs; these are not usually referred to as "slabs."

Why are beer bottles brown?
Source: http:/wwwzperiodzprofessorshousezperiodzcom/foodzhyphenzbeverage/winezhyphenzandzhyphenzspirits/whyzhyphenzarezhyphenzbeerzhyphenzbottleszhyphenzbrownzperiodzaspxBeer has come a long way since the days of the cask and leather flagons. In fact, the decision about what to put beer in for storage has plagued people for centuries. Before the days of refrigeration, before the days of pasteurization, beer storage was an issue. Beer had to be drunk quickly to keep it from spoiling.The idea of putting beer in bottles was developed by a monk several centuries ago. He had put beer into a wine bottle to take on a picnic and left the beer in the bottle for quite some time. He came across it again much later in the beer was still fresh. That was beginning of bottled beer.Sealing the beer bottle was the next big issue. Beer makers tried everything from wax to cork. The cork solution lasted hundreds of years, until wire loop closure was developed many years later. For a long time beer bottles were short, bell shaped and clothed with wires like mason jars.Most beer makers embossed the name of their beer right into the bottle. This was before the days of labels, and embossing was the only way to let people know what kind of beer they were drinking. Embossing was used to label beer bottles well into this century, before the paper label was developed.Over time, the shape of the bottle changed, becoming thinner and taller - looking more like the beer bottles we know today. Beer bottles stayed brown or green until the present-day. This was mainly because refrigeration was not invented for quite some time. With out away to keep the beer at a steady temperature, keeping direct light out of the bottles was important to keep the beer fresh.After refrigeration was invented, it wasn't important to keep the bottles opaque any more but many beer makers continue to make dark bottles out of tradition. Only recently have companies started to buck tradition by making clear beer bottles. Most of the clear bottles are import beers such as Corona and wine coolers and blended beverages such as Zima.Another theory about why beer bottles are brown has to do with the glass making process itself. This one has never been proven, but many people say that in past centuries it was much harder to make clear glass but it was to make colored glass. Apparently, crystal clear glass requires processes that were not developed until the industrial age.Regardless of which reason you think is most accurate for why beer bottles are brown, the fact remains that the tradition is hard to shake. People are used to seeing brown bottles of beer, and new beers that are marketed in bottles that are any color besides green or brown have a hard time being successful.It is a fact that modern-day beers made in America do taste fresher and more flavorful in brown bottles. Many American beers still lose their texture and flavor if exposed to direct sunlight. One good thing about everyone using the same brown bottle glass is that it makes it easier to recycle the glass.THE FOLLOWING IS FROM AN IVY LEAGUE BEER DRINKERALL beer turns "skunky" when exposed to light. Exposure to light breaks down the isohumulones in the beer into free radicals that combine with sulfer-containing proteins to create a chemical called 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol -- which is the chemical skunk smell. The beer is then "skunky" or "light-struck".Beer sitting in the sun can be skunked in a matter of minutes and exposure to florescent light will take longer.BROWN glass does the best job of protecting the beer from light, followed by green, and then clear. This is why you should NEVER buy beer in a clear glass bottle and why people put lime wedges in beer -- to cover the taste of bad beer.
What are synthetic corks made of?
This post does not directly answer the question posed, but opens an issue that is relevant to their use. I have a concern about the increasing use of synthetic plastic wine corks, quite apart from the sustainability aspect of the argument. Plastic corks are most likely impregnated with plasticiser chemicals, to render the cork malleable and (I guess) to provide lubrication for their insertion into the neck of a wine bottle. Of course, corks made from the natural material do not need chemical intervention apart from sterilisation - they are naturally malleable. My concern, felt for some time now, is that the plasticiser in synthetic corks may leach into the wine on prolonged contact - I do not know if this aspect of their use has been looked into. I remember that there was a scare some years ago, about the migration of plasticisers in PVC cling film into the food it was used to protect. This resulted in the launch of a few 'safer' alternatives, appearing to justify these concerns, but the whole issue melted away through apathy, and remains inexplicably quiet. Does anyone have any knowledge of any work that has been done in this area, to establish whether the use of synthetic corks in wine bottles is toxicologically safe?
Do American Airlines offer free drinks on long haul flights?
Yes, normally you can get alcoholic beverages on long flights. Typically hard liquor is available. They give you one of the mini-bottles of liquor (which are sometimes called "shooters"), with a soda. They don't serve from large bottles of liquor; just the mini-bottles. Some flights may also serve beer and wine, I'm not sure.
What does a beer making kit consist of?
Beer making kits generally comprise a barrel for fermenting and ingredients for beer making, including yeast, malt or malt extract, and sometimes hops or steeping grains. Some kits also include empty bottles and bottle caps as well as a cleanser to sterilize the brewing materials.
Why is expenses excluded from balance sheet?
Answer:The balance sheet shows the resources (assets) on the debit side, and the funding of the resources (equity and liabilities) on the credit side, at a point in time. Expenses (just like revenues) are measured over some period. As an analogy, when you open the fridge, you can count the number of bottles of beer that you have ("assets", what you have at some point), but you won't see how many bottles of beer you drank last month ("expenses", measured over a period).
Why using dark colored reagent bottles in storing in storing some chemicals?
Some chemical compounds are sensitive to light. The dark colored bottle prevents light from getting to the contents. The same is true for things like beer and medicines.
