Will I have off flavors if I move them to 64°?

A week ago today, I opened and sampled a 12oz bottle of dopplebock that had been bottle conditioning for 1 week at ~61 degrees. I drank roughly the neck of the bottle. Not enough carbonation. I recapped and placed it back where it came from. I put that bottle in the fridge last night and am...

Going to try a beer this coming Monday that has been bottle conditioning at room temperature for one week. It's the defibrillator dopplebock. Think that is too soon?

Will I have bottle bombs if too much oxygen was introduced? I placed my brewpot on a stool slightly lower than the counter the LBK was on and opened the spigot and let it pour into brewpot. I did notice some bubbles on top of beer in brewpot.

Wow! Didn't know that existed. Do you use it every time? When do you add it?

Thank you so much! This hobby is crazy fun!

Woo hoo! How will I know when to take the blow off tube off and replace with airlock? Will I need to pitch anymore yeast?

So here is what I did:

I don't have another airlock. Can I take that one off, sanitize it and put it back on? The temperature is 67°. I can possibly get another airlock later today once my LHBS opens.
