Hi.
I have recently bottled my Cooper Light Golden Lager and it is sitting in the house for a couple of weeks before going into the shed.

I regularly look at the bottles and I want to see something happening but I dont. I know that there is something happening and I maybe shouldnt worry, just leave them be, but I was wondering should I agitate the bottles at all to keep them working?

My main concern is that I am looking for a nice frothy head that will last longer than the first sip.

So, leave it or agitate it?

cheers
 
Leave it.

The only activity you will 'see' is the beer clearing. Carbonation is normally invisible (although I have seen tiny bubbles at the very beginning until the pressure built up enough to keep the co2 dissolved).

If you want to monitor progress crack one open.
