Any reason for 2 weeks in the fridge? This way leftover yeasts will die in the bottle.

 Update Another week passed in the fermenter. FG is same at 1.003. Should I bottle it today. 😀 Smells like strong alcohol.

As @hotbeer said, we don't have to add extra yeast in bottling. There is enough yeast in the beer to begin with. By not adding extra yeast is the reason for slow carbonation (2 weeks time).

Here, I'm talking about bottling and bottle fermentation.

Are there any visual signs of bottle conditioning? Like how will one know it's going fine inside the bottle? Does it form krausen or any foam like the fermenter?🙂

How much head space to be left? I've read fill the bottle till there's bottling wand and remove the wand. The space taken by wand is the space to be left. Is this true?

So, We don't have to mix trub (greacy thing from the bottom of fermenter), beer alone have live yeast in them? It'll carbonate with added sugar. Noted.

Sounds good, will try 👍

That's the whole information 🙂. Does Yeast still mix with the beer or do we've to add it for bottling? Oh.. Is there any chance of infection after bottling or there's an alcohol tolerance for bacteria?

Do you mean a plastic bottle?

That was something new and important for a beginner. I was calculating without trub loss. 😌

What temperature is ideal for bottle conditioning? Same as fermentation temp?

Yes, all of my equipments are new. My hydrometer is calibrated at 20* C (degree Celcius). OG temperature for the hydrometer was spot on. Which showed 1.062 And now surprisingly FG is 1.003. (@20 degrees C) reading 😁 The beer tasted like the beer that I usually purchase from the shop (it's my...
