Hi All–Question about bottle conditioning. Did my first all grain batch (Harvest Ale) After bottling using the conditioning tablets, I let the beer age about 4 weeks in garage (prob 50 during day, a little cooler at night) and then put it in the frig and it came out great, nice carbonation.
I did a second brew, which was a Mexican style. The recipe book I had said after bottling to condition it at around 38 which is what my garage frig is so I put it in there. I am only two weeks in and popped one to try it and it was FLAT. Does it take longer to carbonate at a colder temp or was the book off base and I should have conditioned at a warmer temp?
