Bottle carbonation temp too low 17 degrees?

[Jamesman]

Hi everyone, I bottled 40 bottles of oatmeal stout and 40 bottles of two hearted pale ale clone two weeks ago and left it in the celler. It's usually 20 degrees but just checked and its dropped to about 17 degrees. Will that affect the carbonation process? Thanks in advance. Cheers.

It would slow it down a bit I expect, but after 2 weeks it should be done anyway.
Time to crack open a bottle and check...

What's the temperature range of the yeast? As long as your temperature is in the fermenting range of the yeast it will carb, but might take longer.

Aren't you worried the beer will be frozen solid at 17 degrees?

Not at 17 Celsius.

Hi, I used safale 05 and Nottingham so I think it should be ok. Thanks for your help. Cheers.
