Cold crash too early

[cncquinn]

I have a batch that I had bottling for 2 weeks. I took one, cold crashed it and it was carbed up just fine. So I took the rest of the bottles and crashed them too. I popped one open last night and it was flat. My question is, if I take them out of the fridge and keep them at room temp for another week or so, will they carb up or did I kill the yeast by chilling them?

Yes, take them out, gently roll the bottles to agitate the yeast and let them warm back up for a week or two and they should continue carbing up nicely.

What temp were you carbing at prior to putting them in the fridge?

Normally, it takes 3 weeks at 70-75*F. If the bottles are stored in a cooler place (like 60-65*F), it will take longer. If stored below 60*F, the yeast (depending on strain) may remain dormant.

Between 65-73
