When bottle carbing, is there anything to see?

Nothing is visible during bottle conditioning. Most people will open bottles after 2 weeks. I typically wait 4 weeks before drinking a brew. This additional wait time is easier to deal with when you have a few other brews ready to drink.
 
Nothing to see....Just put them someplace above 70 and don't even think of openning them til they've been in the bottle, AT LEAST 3 weeks....And don't start a "my beer's not carbed yet" thread if they aren't carbed by them...Instead just go read this while you relax and wait for the beer to be ready.
 
It'll go from clear to opaque to clear. That's about it. Of course if your beer isn't clear to begin with, there won't be much change.
