It's a kit that ferments in 5 - 6 days (which I've been using regularly for the last 4 years and am pretty familiar with), the gravity is not changing, I don't think it would be a danger to bottle this after three weeks. That being said, I would use plastic bottles. If you have bottled it too...

Most of the pear gunk stayed in the bag, which I'm glad I used, most threads I read that involved putting fruit in didn't mention using a bag. Looking at the sediment, racking would have been a good idea, but the second fermenter was occupied so I didn't do it. Mistake. It seems to be...

Actually they are quite technical, the engineering company that created the vaults have put in a lot of hard work getting it right. You can see some of the prototypes and stuff on their website: http://www.joneschijoff.com/ The deterioration rate of the beer is still being experimented with...

That's a shame, my tour there was done by one of the brewers, and he knew his shit. Though I was the only one on the tour who had heard of hops and had any idea about how beer was made, so I guess they can get away with it in most cases. The guys asks, who knows what other plant hops are related...

I go every year and always have a great time, despite it becoming worse and worse value every year. Back in the day it was $25 to get in and unlimited tastings. As usual I start out slow and try not to get really drunk, and as usual I fail. It's almost doing a centurion, you roam around for...

3 weeks with the black rock kit! Bloody hell, I use that kit all the time and it's always done in 5 - 6 days. If your airlock is no longer going and the gravity reading is stable, bottle that shit!

It's definitely cascade, I know because a) I can tell by tasting it and B) the brewers told me themselves at the beer awards expo. Bleh. I think Epic pale ale may be mostly cascade as well, from memory. EDIT: Oh someone already wrote about epic. I'm not a fan of cascade hops personally, but I...

I just bottled my experiment. I used the black rock cider kit (which I have used many times before, it always comes out great) and I put some pears in there, to see what happens. I looked here and googled a bit but couldn't really find out much about adding fruit. So I sort of winged it. I...
