So the other day I took a wheat beer off of its California ale yeast cake. This beer was to be the starter for my Barleywine I was planning to make. I plan to pitch on the cake because my O.G. is set at 1.100, and I want a HUGE starter, so I thought this would be the best plan. My problem is...

I bottled a wheat beer about a two weeks ago with 3/4 cup of priming sugar. The bottles are conditioning at about 53 degrees, which is the temp in my house brrr. I am worried that this may be a little cold for the yeast to do there thing. I am hoping they will carbonate I just figure it will...
