    How much does taste change from bottling day to 3 weeks conditioned?

    My first batch is carbonating at 60F in the basement due to space limitations upstairs. It seems to be working fine. It is producing a good head and also fine bubbles rising from bottom of glass. Question: With this cooler temp how will the recommended times to age in bottle be affected...
