I think I just need someone to tellme to RDWHAHB...
I have a copper ale that spent 21 days in the primary in the low 60s on US-05 and went from 1050 down to 1008 and had steady hydrometer readings for the last week or so. I moved it to my beer fridge yesterday to cold crash it at about 37 for the next week. When I moved it I set it down a bit hard (it slipped) and a bunch of CO2 shot out of the airlock. I didn't think much of it, except that it was still bubbling last night. Even this morning, at 41*, it is slowly bubbling (2 per minute?).
I *think* all that is happening is that I jostled the yeast cake good enough that it dislodged a bunch of CO2 from it and from the beer itself, and it's slowly working its way out of solution. Does anyone have any other theories on this that will set my mind at ease?
