G'day
Recently my secondary (and conditioning) fridge went bung.

FYI, I usually force carbed using basically the Ross method.

The last couple of kegs I forced carbed are just sitting in the garage (20 C average) waiting their turn to make it to the dispensing fridge (as the conditioning fridge is dead)

So I just thought, as I didn't use any priming sugar in these kegs, is it possible that infection risk has increased as normally these would end up straight in a fridge?
Until I get a new fridge for conditioning, should I use some sugar for secondary fermentation to re-start the yeast to fight off any possible nasties?
Or am I concerned over nothing?

Opinions and particularly experience here will be appreciated.

Cheers, Adam
 
As you have force carbed the kegs they should be fine. Presume you burped the kegs to release the trapped air first.
