After completing fermentation after 13 days (including dry hopping after fermentation was complete), I bottled 5 gallons of IPA on 12/4. I used the Nothern Brewer calculator to get the correct amount of primer in before bottling. They've been sitting inside at a consistent 74-deg since bottling. I'm hoping to chill a few for Christmas (about 3-wks from bottling). Too soon?
Am I right that, if it took, say, 10-days to complete fermentation, then wouldn't it take about that same amount of time, or less, to carbonate?
If not, what is an optimal period for carbonation?
Thanks!
