hi there i just thought id give you the English point of view ,over here we tend to lean more towards wine making than beer making, a simple wine like coffee would be ready in about 4 weeks and drinkable within a month as i find if left any longer it lacks in feshness and starts to taste...

something ive done in the past and it seems to work,use a thin length of fishing line or nylon down the inside of the neck of the bottle insert the cork as far as it will go then withdraw the string/line this creates a small channel for air to escape as you drive the cork the rest of the way...

just a quick hello from the north east UK, i have just started brewing again after giving it up many years ago,i mostly brew country wines and the odd real ale kit,i havent had a look around yet but it looks like im in the right place for good advice
