Hello,
I have bottled a batch of Red. My buddy took 1/2 and stored it at his house without a basement. The temperature is probably high 60s low 70s and it was kept in a room with a furnace.
Mine was kept in a basement that have an average temp of 63 degrees. My bottles are much flatter than his, but they taste exactly the same otherwise.
Is the temperature difference definitely the cause?
Is there anyway to fix this after the beer has been bottled and placed in the fridge? Can I take the beers out of the fridge and store them in a warmer spot or will they go skunk? Should I just take this as a lessoned learned and drink the flat beer?
Thanks.
