I am sitting at day 8 of the conditioning for my first brew and this is almost worse than being 9-1/2 months pregnant. Since we capped the bottles and put them back into the cases, I have tried to forget about them but I have some questions.
What are some of the things I should be looking for in the bottles while conditioning is going on? Everything looked relatively clear when I looked at a couple tonight. I didn't see any sediment on the bottoms nor could I see anything floating around.
At what point would I be seeing bottle bombs if they were to occur?
When bottling, I ended up having one bottle that only got filled half way. I didn't want to waste it so we capped it. Should I not have done this?
This is a True Brew Belgian Ale kit, I had it in the primary for 2 weeks and the secondary for 2 weeks before I bottled it. There was almost no sediment in the bottom of the secondary when I racked to the bottling bucket. I used the package of corn sugar that came in the kit for priming and mixed it in using what I think was a Revvy recommendation of part at the start and part half way through.
