Hello all!
So, my first brew is currently bottle conditioning and carbing away (hopefully). Has been a few days.
I was just wondering if there were any tell-tale signs to look for while conditioning. I know that in fermentation, it was easy to tell the progress based on gravity readings.
However, I'm not 100% sure what signs I'm looking for in bottle conditioning to tell if it's "done" or not. Is it a process in which there is no real end point?
I had put my brew into 12oz bottles and two 2L soda bottles. I decided to slowly twist open one of the soda bottles, and it gave a satisfying fizz, so I quickly closed it tight again.
I imagine that's what I'm looking for? How do I know if it's going to take two weeks or so? Might it take less time?
