Hi -
Normally I wouldn't ask such a question, because I am a firm believer in letting time do its work and improving the beer, but this time, the circumstances are not normal, so it is time to talk about time.
My son brewed a Spruce Ale, allowed it to ferment and bottled it Tuesday of this week. He gave me some to share with a friend on a trip I am taking - I'll meet up with my friend next Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Is this time enough for the beer to have carbonated? It will be (mostly) at room temperature or above through this time, and of course I'd like to refrigerate it at least 1 night prior to drinking, which means that it would hit the fridge on Monday. This is only 6 days for carbonation, so naturally, I have a few concerns.
Please advise, and thank you -
Ron
