I store all my beer at 55 degrees. Do I need to worry about the beers that are bottle conditioned not being carbonated, or not being at the proper carbonation level? Should they already be carbonated when I purchase them? The main reason for this question is the issues Lost Abbey and the Bruery were having with carbonation. A friend suggested I let all my Lost Abbey stuff sit around 70 degrees and shake it up a bit every once in a while for a few months. Is this a good suggestion?

When bottle conditioned beers leave the brewery they are already at the proper CO2 levels, unless otherwise specified. It's better to store beer at a cooler temperature. The 3 things that destroy beer are light, heat, and oxygen. Don't shake your beers, you will re-suspend everything that has dropped out over time. |

Without a major increase in heat, I can't see how your bottle conditioned beer would get much better or worse. Isn't that the purpose of conditioning? |
