About to bottle my first batch of beer. Made an extract fat tire style of beer. It's been about two weeks gonna bottle it two days. Re using old pop top bottles. Any advice?
Any advice?
Question I just bottled my 2nd batch and let it sit for a week before putting them all in the fridge. How will the fridge affect my beers if I leave them in there for a few more weeks? After reading this it sounds like I should not have put them in the fridge for a few weeks.

No.
Leave it in primary for another week. Give the yeast time to finish cleaning the beer. After fermentation ends they will still be working, cleaning up off flavors that are created during the fermentation process. This also gives time for suspended sediment to settle out.
Read the sticky threads in the bottling section. I like to set my bottling bucket high on a table. I attach the bottling wand to the spigot on the bucket with a 2" section of vinyl tubing so I can sit in a chair and fill the bottles.
I use the bottom rack in my dishwasher to hold my sanitized bottles and fill from there. I put them on the table set a cap on top and when they are all filled I go back and crimp them all.
