I'm getting ready to ship a couple bottles of beer that are currently, and have been since bottling, sitting at room temp.
So, before shipping should I pop them in the fridge for a few days and then pack them up or should I ship a couple bottles as they are? I can see problems both ways. Ship warm and you don't get the temp change warm-cold-warm-cold. Ship cold and they get some time to absorb CO2 from the head space before I box them up, reducing the chances of leaking in transit.
How do most folks do it?
