I was originally under the impression that when you put an ale in the refrigerator it stops the aging process and the flavors do not continue to change. Is this correct?
I have read a few things that make me question this, and I have also recently tasted a few of my beers that have been in the fridge for a short period of time and it seems like their flavor did continue to change a little, but it could be my imagination. (i generally throw homebrew in the fridge a few hours prior to drinking it)
Later this week I plan on sampling a beer that I've had in the fridge for a few days already along side another beer from that batch which I will throw in the fridge just a few hours prior to tasting.
I'd appreciate it if any of you guys could shed some further light on this topic for me.
