The last few brews I've done (extract recipes) resulted in low head volumes as well as low carbonation in the finished beer. My primary temps are normal for the yeast strain, but after I racked to secondary, I put them in the cold basement for conditioning (~55-60*) for a few weeks. My question is could this massive reduction in temperature be shocking/killing the yeast to the point that when I bottle, there isn't enough active yeast to feed on the corn sugar in order to carbonate?
