Hey all, I have been reading a lot on here about bottling trying to find an answer, and was wondering if I could get a quick confirmation. This weekend I plan on bottling my first brew, a stout. Assume that fermentation is complete, confirmed by multiple gravity readings. Once bottled, how long do I condition? And if I let it go for for 3-4 weeks before cold crashing, will I safely avoid bottle bombs? It's a 5gal batch with a standard amount of priming sugar that I'll use. The kit directions say a week per point of OG, which would be about 5weeks. Is that okay as long as I test one every week or so?
