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: bottle conditioning
Want to know how long it takes to carbonate with bottle conditioning?
Replace a couple of your glass bottles with a couple of plastic soda pop
bottles. Keep them at different temperatures and test them every day.
Before carbonation, pinch them. They will be soft to the touch. As
they carbonate, they will become harder. When the bottle is at least
as hard as a soda, you are ready to go.
You will find that the warmer the beer, the faster it carbonates.
Loren
