I made my first beer.(3068 wyeast weinhanstephaner yeast, dry wheat malt, and halletrau hops) It fermented, and i bottled it in 16& 22 oz bottles and a PArty Pig mini keg. It has been a week since my babies started bottle conditioning.
This morning, something in my gut told me to try a 16 oz bottle. As i go to pop off the cap, I anticipate the fizzy sound of Co2 bursting under the cap. To my surprise, It fizzled like a beautiful beer opening orchestra. It is a great moment.
ANYWAYS... my question is: it tasty beer, it is carbonated, should i chill the 16 oz bottles? Should I take a gravity reading and wait? I figured the 22s might need more time and the party pig on tap seemed like it needs more time as well. the pig hold 2.5 gallons, so i figure it will take the longest to condition.
what are your thoughts fellow home brewers?
