NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Re: Bottle Conditioning

bottle conditioning in the fridge won't work well, if at all because the 
yeast will be at best very sluggish. i have had bottles fail to ferment 
in the winter when i had them sitting on the cold side of the living 
room where it was in the low 50's, then moved them closer to the 
woodstove and the carbed up. as to the time it takes there is more going 
on when bottle conditioning then just carbonation. if that is all you 
are going for say in a pale ale or ipa then they are probably good to go 
in a week. if you really want to know how long just open a bottle every 
day and see how it changes each day.
peace
jeff
