Addition of Watermelon extract to secondary
I would like to add a 4oz bottle of watermelon extract to my secondary, do I have to boil it or can I just add the extract?

Boiling is only to sanitize whatever you are putting in the beer, if the product is completely sealed the solution inside will be fine. if you are worried about contamination you can soak the bottle in some sanitizer before you dump.
Make sure the extract contains no potassium sorbate as a preservative as that will stop all fermentation.
Good luck!
If it is packaged in a shelf-stable way (i.e., not refrigerated) and has been handled properly, you won't need to boil it.
