I just bottled my first batch, an american wheat kit from NB, and I wanted to store it in a closet by our water heater. This area is under the stairs and out of the way; and stays room temp or slightly warmer so it should be good for the carbonating fermentation.
However, it is also our coat closet... So I don't want to end up with a bottle bomb and have my kids going to school smelling like beer...![Drunk :drunk: :drunk:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-155.gif)
Long neck glass bottles, checked each one and the caps are nice and tight (my daughter capped them so I went behind to be sure they were tight enough) and 5/8 cup of sugar in 16 oz of water to prime, as the directions called for.
This is my first brew and my first bottling, so I'm just wondering if I should move them or if they are safe?
