Just want to clear something up..
When your beer hits a certain temp - whether in bottle or in lagering vessel (lets say 40 degrees) - the yeast doesn't actually DIE - it just goes dormant, meaning that when it comes back to fermentation temps for the strain some if not all of the yeast will wake back up correct? (or at least - it should?!)
My question is both for what if I put bottles into the fridge too early and need them to carb up more - will pulling them out help or is it all ready too late?
AND - is there an issue with lagers carbing in the bottle after being at that cold temp for so long?
Thanks, and merry xmas.
