So, as my room temperature space is limited, SWMBO says so, I need to move bottles out of room temperature and into 64F fermentation room to make room for newly bottled beers. Everyone always says leave your beer for three weeks at 70F for bottle carbing. I don't contest that, but wouldn't it be okay to move them to a cooler location after a yeast cake has developed, a clear sign of bottle fermentation? The temperature doesn't have any impact on co2 absorption, does it? It sounds like a dumb question when I write this out, but was just contemplating this and thought I'd throw it out there.
 
After 3 weeks I always move my bottles to the cooler part of my basement for storage....Most likely if you move them early to the cooler part of your home it'll still carb just take a little longer...
