Quick question

[gerrytds]

I wonder if i killed my beer.

I mixed up some bottles and banged some bottles into the fridge, Dont know how long it was secondary fermenting in bottles, but when i opened them they were flat, ( hardly any fizz on opening) and they were cloudy so if i stuck em in fridge did i kill fermenting and so the end result flat unready beer.

Cheers ...............G

I think your right the cold will have stopped the secondry, thus flat beer that tastes great. :thumb: I've done the same myself. I bottled a wherry on the morning of a holiday, threw one in the fridge, the rest in the shed thinking i'll suck that one down in two weeks. On the flight home i remembered about it and got excited. returned to one flat beer and 39 lovely ones.

There's a chance you'll still have enough live yeast in the bottles. I'd just take them out of the fridge and put them somewhere at room temp. They may take longer to carbonate than the others, so I'd drink them last. You may get fizzy beer yet. :pray:

Yea, I agree, if you let them at room temp for a few weeks, it will now take a bit longer than normal, you should see an improvment

Same here warm them up slowly and the yeast will come back to life. I speak from experience But mine was 25ltr fermenting bin in the freezer that I use as a temp controlled cupboard apart from I switched the thing on by accident!! I found a full bin of beer at -1c slowly warmed it up and she went away like normal!! Who new you could freeze your wort then use it when ready!!!
