I doing a peach wine in a 3 gallon carboy. After racking it into the secondary I added about 2 cups of sugar, it started to foam something terrible. There was foam all over the floor. I added sugar because it tasted like peach juice. The gravity only dropped 20 points in about 10 days. My other...

After my cider was bottled and firmed up I put it in the fridge. Later that day, after grocery shopping, I really needed the room. I will my cider get skunked if I pull it out then put in back in a few days later?
