traveling with bottle conditioning beer

[stirlingtrent]

Hey all, I couldn't find anything about this on the forum, so thought I'd ask.

I'm flying from CA back to my parents home in TX and would like very much to bring some of my first brew, but the problem is, it'll only be about 10 days into the bottle conditioning phase, about half the minimum time I'd like, and I'm just wondering if moving it around that much will have any effect on carbing?

And I know that 10 days is plenty for some beers, but it's a Belgian Saison, and I'd really like it to have 3 weeks or so before opening...

Thanks in advance!

I'd say you'll have some bubbles in there. Try it and see if it's ready. The traveling shouldn't bother it either.

Moving around that much will actually help the beer dissolve into the beer. Your batch will be just fine on the trip!

Beer dissolving into beer? I like!

Sorry, I know you meant CO2, just struck me as funny this morning.

worst thing (other than broken bottles) that will happen is the sediment gets kicked up depending how it travels. drove 7 hours with some fresh bottles and since they were angled I had a nice sideways yeast cake. all fixed by a few days in the fridge (standing straight up). so

Excellent. Thanks guys!
