If I move chilled beer (fridge temperature) out of the fridge to warm to room temperature - willl it give the beer a "skunky" taste/smell? I've always heard that the skunking is due to UV exposure, not temperature.
About 2 months ago I brewed a batch of Munton's Premium Pilsner. Everything went great, it smelled terrific at bottling, and was extremely clear. I bottled it (primed with 3/4 cup of cane sugar) with no issues and put the batch in the basement to carbonate, right at about 60 degrees, maybe even cooler.
After two months, the batch has not carbonated very well. Its carbonation level now is the same as it was two weeks after bottling. It has a small hiss at opening, and the head is barely existent. It tastes flat. So I am trying moving the beer in the basement upstairs (where it is 70 degrees) and the beer that is in the fridge inside (where it is, again, 70 degrees). Hope it works.
