Does Low-Attenuated Wort due to Low Temperature have a Higher Propensity to Bottle-Bomb while Bottle Conditioning at a Higher Temperature?
I bottle condition underwater with frozen water bottles to keep the temperature down. I probably bottle conditioned my last batch of beer beneath 60 °F, and it didn't carbonate all that well, or at all.
I have brewed a new batch of beer at 58-63 °F while the WYeast website indicates its optimal temperature range from 64-72 °F.
I intend on letting it bottle condition in the range of 64-68 °F.
If I cold crashed the yeast (and lowered attenuation) while the batch was brewing, would bottle conditioning at a higher temperature range incline the bottles to explode? I figure this would be the case because the yeast would reactivate and consume the non-attenuated wort in combination with the priming sugar.
