Ok, so I only have one small fermentation chamber that is temp controlled and I am wanting to do some big beers that will require long term aging. I would love to keep in secondary up to a year for some good barleywines etc.
Question is this : Since I will be using the temp controlled fermentation chamber for regular brews, how bad would it be to let the aging beer withstand a year of ambient temps within my house?
Background : I live in Oklahoma and heat and cool as needed... sometimes it gets down to low 60's in winter and high 70's in summer.
Am I correct in thinking that aging beer needs to be in lagering temps?
