A: Just 3 weeks! And unlike wine, beer doesn’t need to be aged – it goes into your bottles ice-cold, crystal clear, and ready to drink that day – you only have to wait as long as it takes you to get home. Of course, you probably won’t be consuming all 60 bottles the day you bottled it, but don’t worry – as long as you store it in a cool dark place, it will keep for up to six months. Just like high quality commercially crafted beer, we don’t add any preservatives – neither will last more than half a year, but seriously… that’s barely 2 bottles a week … we’re sure you’ll be back for more long before 6 months is up!

A: We’re located at the corner of South Sumas and Unsworth Road, in the Legacy Pacific Industrial Park. Whether you’re heading west on South Sumas, or north on Unsworth via Kieth Wilson, you can’t miss us!
If you’re coming from the Chilliwack side, you can follow Vedder Road south until you reach South Sumas, or better yet, take the new Evans Road overpass and follow Evans all the way south until you hit South Sumas, take a right, and we’re at the next intersection!

You must also sign a declaration stating that you are using the product for personal use, and won’t be attempting to re-sell it. You are then required to pitch the yeast into a fermentation vessel to begin the fermentation process. Once you’ve chosen the type of wine you want, these steps will only take about 2 minutes of your time.
Your second visit will be 4 to 8 weeks later, depending on the type of wine you purchased. At this time you must sterilize your bottles, then fill and cork them. You may also affix labels and shrink tops if you wish. We always include these... »View More

Although often debated, the correct way to hold a wine glass is by the stem. Despite what you may have heard, this is true of all wine – white as well as red.
Wine is served in stemware because the temperature at which wine is served can have a profound impact on the tastes and the enjoyment it yields. Wine glasses should always be held by the stem of the glass rather than the bowl since the heat of your hand will quickly warm the liquid. This is the reason stemware was invented!
Warming a wine above its desired serving temperature will yield unwanted and unpleasant characteristics. The alcohol in wine will give a sharpness or ‘bite’ to the taste if the wine is served above 74 F. degrees. The palm of your hand around the glass... »View More
