I have had this brew in secondary at 58 degrees for over a month. I recently read an article that some brewers lager their strong scotch ales. I do have that capability. Should I lager this hog for a month or two and then bottle it or just leave well enough alone at 58 degrees? I figured if I have the chance to make my beer even better during the colder months, it would be a shame not too.
