Teven tavern Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 HI there, I recently brewed and bottled 2 batches (Devils half ruby and IPA). I use a fridge set at 18 to 20 deg for fermentation but after bottling and placing carbonation drops our ambient temp dropped rapidly well below desired storage conditions ( i store them in my shed). 3 weeks later i taste test a bottle or 2. My beers are dead flat, I'm assuming from the 2nd fermentation temp too low. My question is if i place the bottles in my fridge at the 18 to 20 deg will the yeast activate the sugar to produce gas again or is it all over for them ? Or can I re- introduce carbonation drops and re- cap them before storing at the desired temp? Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Pirate Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Gently invert the bottles a few times to get yeast back in suspension and put them in your brew fridge or kitchen cupboard , anywhere out of direct light and stable temp above 18° and the yeast should get farting to carb it up .
