Hello,
My IPA's been bottled for two weeks at about 68 degrees F. I cracked one open last night to see how things are coming along (yummy!), and the carbonation is already right where I want it. So I took it and put it in my basement, which is always between 55 and 58 degrees. Is this cold enough to keep my beer from becoming more carbonated? I was using Wyeast's Irish Ale yeast - 55 is below its ideal temps, but is it low enough to stop the yeasties from doing their job?
Thanks!
Bob
