Bottle conditioning beer but froze.

[Trobocco]

Bottled beer and put it in freezer w temp control. For whatever reason temp controller didn't work and beer froze. Is it ruined? Will it still ferment in bottle? Yeast is an ale yeast, can't remember which one.

Nah, I'm sure it's fine.

Pull them out and let them thaw. Check in a week or so. If there's zero carbonation, then you might have to open them up and add a tiny bit of dry yeast to get the bottle conditioning going, but it's definitely not ruined.

It seems odd to have the beer in a freezer for bottle conditioning. 70F or so is the normal temperature. And a little warmer doesn't seem to hurt as far as I can tell.
