I'm a newbie to brewing (but not drinking).
My first brew (IPA extract kit) is bottled in my closet. Tomorrow will be the 21 days since I've bottled. Practically no carbonation.
The weather in northeast Florida has been very sporadic. One day it's 80 and the next its 56. I live on the 11th floor in a high rise apartment. I just checked and the closet my brew is in is apparently only at 67 degrees. I've checked for hot sources to place my brew but have none.
I have a window that faces the south. Would it be a bad idea to place my beer in that room under the window out of direct sunlight? The bottles are currently in boxes, and I planned on covering them with a big, heavy blanket. I have my next brew fermenting away.
Is this a bad idea to see if this will speed up the carbonation process? Worth a shot?
Thanks!
