Bottled Beer Storage
Well, this is kind of a noob question, but I just bottled a beer for the first time in a few years. After the 3-4 week carbonation/conditioning, is it better to store them cold, or still at room temp? Or does it even make any difference?

Re: Bottled Beer Storage
It's best to store your beers at serving temp. Storing your beers at room temp however won't ruin them as long as your not doing long term storage. I usually just toss the cases that wont fit in the fridge onto the garage floor, and they age fine. I had a flemish red style out there aging for 6 months before I got to it. That beer experienced temperature extremes from 40's to 100+ The beer survived fine, but I'm not sure it could've taken it much longer.

Re: Bottled Beer Storage
Best temp = 51°F = Cellar temp.
70°F - Room temp will work for a few months.

Re: Bottled Beer Storage
I store mine in a cool dark cuboard. and I've heard its best to have the bottles in the fridge for about a week before serving, could be to clear the sediment, or something like lagering..?

Re: Bottled Beer Storage
What about leaving it in the carboy, say if you run out of bottles is it fine to age it like another 4 weeks in the carboy? Is it not somewhat like wine just get of the gross leas and the hop bed it began the aging.

Sure. The 5-gallon carboy is great for aging after primary.

Re: Bottled Beer Storage
Thanks for all the info, guys! I plan on storing this one in my keg fridge since that's the most room...my wife wants it out of our tiny pantry.

Re: Bottled Beer Storage
Mine is stored on the concrete floor in my wine room which is 70 degrees constant. Floor is probably cooler. I haven't stored any for more than a couple of months.
