When bottle carbing a brew is there a requirement that the bottles are standing or laying to achieve the best results. I just bottled 2 cases of Hanks Hefe from Midwest and my new Keezer/ferm chamber can only accept bottles laying on there sides on the shelves that are not used by the pail or Corny kegs. I have looked around quite a bit and have not seen a definitive direction to pursue in this particular instance. My thought is that since it allow more surface area of the unfilled part of the bottle it might allow the CO2 a little more area to dissolve into solution. On the other hand that is also a large area to expose to air too. Just wondered if any one has any empirical evidence to support or defer me from laying bottles on there sides when bottle carbing.
