After I bottle

[anthonyb15fd]

I will be bottling my very first brew on Saturday. After I bottle it all up does it go right in the fridge for 3-4 weeks or does it stay out of the fridge for a couple weeks..?

let em sit at room temp for a couple of weeks, if you throw them in the fridge they won't carb properly.

I let my beer sit at room temp for 1 week, then place it in the basement for 2-3 weeks before putting it in the fridge. I usually wait 3 days after this before drinking.

What kind of beer did you make?

Three weeks at 70° is the norm to get full carbonation. I've never had any that carbonated before 3 weeks but I have a couple that took longer.

Bottle it, and throw it in a warm closet for a few weeks. I usually throw a beer in the fridge after it has bottled for two weeks (I am too anxious.)
If its not warm enough, it will either never carbonate or it will take forever.

The 3 weeks at 70 degrees, that that we recommend is the minimum time it takes for average gravity beers to carbonate and condition. Higher grav beers take longer.

Stouts and porters have taken me between 6 and 8 weeks to carb up..I have a 1.090 Belgian strong that took three months to carb up.

And even carbonation doesn't mean that they will not still be green and need more time to condition....
