 Invitro pinning, safe to store in fridge?

I have some jars that I was planning on putting in the fridge for storage while I am on vacation. But today I noticed that one of the jars have started pinning invitro, and the others looks like they are starting to pin aswell.
Is it ok to put them in the fridge if they are pinning, or will that cause the pins to rot? 
I don't want to waste the jars, but I don't think I have time to fruit them either. I am leaving in a month.
Any help will be appreciated

A month is more than enough time to fruit them, enough time for a least a couple of flushes.

Yep.
And to answer your question they would be fine in the fridge for a resonable about of time. The cold is going to slow everything down. Growth and death/rotting

If they are pinning they must be fully or close to fully colonized so Yes you should fruit as soon as they are 100%. Why do you want to wait? Fruit them and start a new batch. Before you leave, put those new jars in the refridg and that way when you get back your in business again to fruit those.

I wanted to wait because I was unsure if I had time to fruit them to death before I leave. But I'd much rather get as much as I can before I leave.
I have more jars that are close to 100%, but no room to fruit. So those will go into the fridge.
Thanks all!
