- after the initial bottling and warm conditioning for 2-3 days (for the club tasting) the other bottles were not warm conditioned. This led to them being pretty flat after about 2 weeks or so. I took the remaining 20 bottles, about 2 weeks after the actuall bottling, and warm conditioned them for about 5 days at about 20 degC. This helped a lot, and the bottles seemed to carbonate up well.
