So it's pretty obvious from what I've read that sunlight is the enemy of beer, with exposure leading to all kinds of undesirable flavors.
My question is, would the little 40W lightbulb in my fridge have the same damaging effects on my beer? My SWMBO has been gracious enough to allow me to put my 3gallon carboy in the fridge to crash cool which I am thrilled about. I'd just like to know do I need to worry about the effects of the fridge light on my beer? We are 3 people to the household, so the fridge is opened a lot and the beer will get exposed to the fridge light a fair amount.
Do I need to worry about this exposure and cover my beer up, or is the light in the fridge to weak to actually cause any damage?
