I'm about to bottle my Fat Tire Clone. I Crash Cooled it for a couple days and am about to transfer to a bottle bucket and prime. The beer will be at 60 degrees by the time the priming sugar is cool. Will the temp difference be an issue? It will condition at 70-75 F. I'm concerned about the difference between the 60 degree bottle temp and 70-75 conditioning temp causing expansion and Bottle Bombs. I don't "think" there will be enough difference but had to ask.
 
The expansion would be about 1/4 of 1 % so in fact it would not be enough expansion to even add any pressure to the bottle let alone bottle bomb type pressures.
