I know, another bottling question. I apologize if it has been covered somewhere else but I have not found it.
Ok, today I am bottling my batch of Citra Weizen. I will be taking a weekend beach trip to meet some friends in about two weeks, and I want to take a few of these bottles with me. Being a weizen, it should be ready in those two weeks; my question come to the refrigeration needed to let the carbonation absorb into the beer. If I take the beer and refrigerate at the condo on arrival, it will only have a day in the cool before we drink it...not enough time I am thinking..should be 2-3 days? What will happen if I refrigerate before I go on the trip, what will happen by taking it out of the fridge...does that mess with the co2 absorption etc? Not really worried about clarity, it's a weizen.
