I sometimes rack to a second fermenter before putting a brew in the fridge to cold condition. I've been wondering if it would work if I bulk primed at this point as soon as the temp was down to 1 or 2C, and left it in the fridge for a few days to a week before bottling. My hope was that this would mean I can then bottle straight out of the fridge without racking again, which I like to minimise to avoid oxidation. I guess the questions are, would the yeast be totally dormant at this temperature or might it still get to work on a bit of my priming sugar? And would the sugar stay completely in solution for the whole week at this temperature or could some of it settle out and result in different sugar concentrations in the fermenter?
Any thoughts?
