Accidental cold crash

[earthwormgaz]

I bottled my new beer last weekend just before going away, and the heating **** itself and was off all week. Only just got the house warmed back up. I believe I need to have kept the temp up at around 20 degrees for a week or two to let the priming sugar condition it. Does anyone think it has any chance of getting back going as the house warms up?

What a pain.

No problems, it will kick in. You could give the bottles a shake to distribute the yeast but not necessarily

It will have carried on conditioning in the cold .. just at a slower rate.

I've put bottles in the garage at times like this and they've conditioned fine in a month or two.

Remember that lager undergoes primary fermentation at colder temperatures than your house probably got down to this last week
