Hi All
Before going on holiday a week or so again, I kegged a couple of batches I’d had fermenting. My usual setup is ferment for 12 days after brew day, into a corny, put under pressure and cold conditioned in a fridge for 2-3 weeks.
I’ve just got home and realised one of the fridges hadn’t been switched on. The keg has been kept under pressure as normal but with no temperature control at all.

Will this have caused harm to the beer or if I switch fridge on now and give it some time to recover will I get the same end product? Or will the week of so it’s spent in a warmer temperature under pressure fundamentally change it?
 
I'd say it will be perfectly fine - bring down to a cool temp now and leave for a week or so and will be pretty great I'm sure.
