Bottling

[Mike7431]

Hello everyone!

I am bottling my first 5 gallon batch tomorrow and I was curious about the conditions that I should leave my bottles in during the carbonation process. I have bottled a couple other 1 gallon batches before and had always kept them in a dark closet at about 73 degrees Fahrenheit. The earlier batches seemed to turn out alright but I was wondering if future batches could be better. What temperature do you guys/gals typically keep your bottles at?

That 73 degree closet is just right.

I leave them in a 70 - 72 degree closet..

My only option is a basement that is around 60/65. Just takes a little extra time.

Same thing, usually in a box in case I forget and leave the door open
