I have poked around a bit and haven't found a similar situation on here.

My bottles were stored in a closet around 65 degrees for 13 days. On the 13th day, I opened one of them to check the carbonation and it was fine. It could definitely use another couple days, but it was fine. I put a six-pack in the fridge so that I could try one cold 2 days later. When I opened one of those from the fridge on 15th day, the cold bottle was 90% flat. I just opened another cold one (day 18) and it's still flat. So I opened another warm one and it's perfect. I imagine this is a situation solely based on temperature, correct? I'm a bit apprehensive to throw them in the fridge though - for fear of losing all carbonation. I primed with corn sugar, just like I've always done. Any thoughts or ideas?
 
They are not fully carbed yet. At 65* it can take longer than normal. Give them a couple more weeks.
