Bottle Carbonation: time vs CO2 Volume

Brewing Processes
1

I know from reading forum posts,  and my own experience that carbonating beer in bottles can take two weeks or more.

But say your sample bottle seem well-carbonated after 8 days and you refrigerate the rest of your batch at about 38 F, what happens?

Will you have arrested carbonation completely  or just slowed the pace of it? Will your beer tasted as good as if you had given it another week to carbonate?

Thanks in advance for you input.

I’d think at 38 F no more carbing could happen, for sure with ale yeast. There might be some lager yeast that could still slowly chug along at that temperature.

With an ale yeast you will stop any further carbonation from occurring. You’re dealing with multiple bottles, while one is a good sample others may not quite be there yet after 8 days, I’d wait another week at least
