Got my storage fridge up and running. What should I set it at?
Just follow The Property of Ones.
Anyway, to answer the question...
IMO, 40 degrees is a good starting point. But remember, the colder the setting, the more the bitterness will be accentuated. The warmer, more the malt flavor.
So an English Ale should be stored at @ 50 degrees.
A pilsener, cold. Like 38.
The average IPA/Pale Ale/etc - I like 42-44 degrees to balance the heavy hops.
Of course you've only got one fridge, so set it cold, and know to wait for certain beers to warm up before you drink them.
