How long to carb in bottles?

[mmlipps]

How long do you typically let beer carb in bottles before drinking? I've read that 2 weeks is the typical time.

I do two weeks for most beers

Can be as little as 1week but I find 2+ to be more the case. Have a choc stout that has taken closer to 4+ so the beer and conditions can affect it. I'll usually open one up a week to keep tabs on it. It's done when it's done- good enough for your tastes to start drinking.

3 weeks at 70 degrees.

I've never heard of a temp for bottle priming. What's wrong with just lettin em go?

The cooler the ambient temperature, the longer it will take the bottles to carb. Room temperature is ideal..This just happens to be around 70-72 degrees F.

Yup. 70F or a bit more for 3 weeks is the norm. Mine sometimes take 4 weeks to be ready for fridge time of 5-7 days if all went well otherwise.
