I don't bottle much, and probably will less now that I have my new to me kegerator. But, I am wondering about something. In the past I have bottled my beers, added carb drops and let them sit in a closet at about 65 to 70 for a week or two before putting some in the fridge to cool and try. My thought was, warmer it will carb up quicker and do what I need it to do. Thinking about it last night, would it be better to put the bottles right into a cold storage like my kegerator or the fridge I turned into my fermenting unit and store them in the low 50's to high 40's? Like I said, I don't bottle much, but every so often I like to bottle stuff so I can share with friends. Any thoughts or input is much appreciated.

3 weeks at room temp to fully carb, then into the fridge for at least a few days.

I must get myself a manometer as a full time bottler.

If you bottle carb and store them at temps in 40's-50's it will take much longer to carbonate. Room temp for a few weeks is the way to go.
