How long is too long to cold crash if you bottle condition? I've had many successful batches, 3 in a row now have been nearly flat after bottle conditioning. The only thing I can figure is that my CC was just too long.
These particular brews were done between Thanksgiving and Christmas while I was quite busy. Typically, I'd CC for 3-4 days and then prime, bottle and cap. These ran 8-9 days before bottling.
Could I have dropped that much yeast out? It is a bit cooler in the house these days 63-65F. Beers are primed for 2.2-2.4 volumes, same as I always have done, but nearly no carb. after an even longer conditioning period of 5 weeks.
Does corn sugar go bad? No clumping, no signs of moisture.
Ideas welcomed. Thanks!
