Read that bottle conditioning in a small fridge with a temp controller at 75F will reduce time to carbonate a beer. What has been your experience?
Just set up a small fridge with temp controller. This will be the first time using it. Am making an Imperial IPA 8.3 ABV and then a Russian Imperial Stout 9.9 ABV. Plan to ferment at 68F for 3 weeks, bottle and condition in the fridge at 75F. Typically have been conditioning for 4 weeks at room temp but wondering how long to carbonate in a controlled environment at 75F. Thinking around 2 weeks.
Anyone here condition in a fridge at 75F? What improvement did you see?
