How long do you guys keep your newly bottled lager/beer in warm conditions to carbonate?

Ive just bottled some coopers aus lager and would like to know this.

Cheers Andy
 
Anywhere from 7 to 14 days for me, if you're using plastic bottles you can tell that it's carbonated because they get firmer, some people bottle in glass but do one plastic 'test' bottle.
 
I have just brought a batch back inside having found they are all flat :doh:

They had been two weeks inside the house but it was in early December in an unheated room. The next batch spent the same time in he house in a heated room and is well fizzy.

So just to say with the current low temps outside make sure the room has the radiator on or you may be waiting our time :thumb:
 
I leave about 10 days but sometimes more and at times less say about 6 or 7 and that's room temp around 18-19 C. I have sat bottles on heater for first day before but there is no need so I don't bother now
