Fizz Drops

[SouthPhillyTony]

Hello everyone! I purchased a beer brewing kit from a company online and today is bottling day. First time trying to brew beer. The brew went smooth a couple weeks ago. The company provided "Fizz Drops" that you put into the bottle before racking and capping. Then they say to have them sit in a cool dark place for another week to carbonate.. My question is, that's it? Lol.. I appreciate any feedback.

I should have did a search before I posted this. Sorry!

There's nothing to be sorry about. As you noted, you're new to this and I think we can all relate to the sense of excitement mixed with confusion that marks everyone's first batch or two. You got this! You're going to make some great beer!

Room temp out of light for 2 weeks should do good. Leave me alone lol. What I do is on day 14 I put one in the fridge for the next day. If it’s carbed then the rest should be if not wait another week. I’ve had some take 3 weeks.

Room temp, yes that's it. That sounds good. I'm actually going to do that after two weeks with the fridge. TY!

Why 2 weeks in the fridge first? Lager?

After two weeks at room temp, I did what you said with the fridge. I tried one and they carbonated perfectly. Good to go, thanks! It's an Ale..
