Now that it's bottled

Did a nice Extract Scotch ale... not bad by the sample.

Question - is it best to store bottled beer as it conditions in 65-70 temps are should I get colder (im thinking the garage)

Thanks,
J

I keep mine in the basement which is about 60-65 degrees

I usually condition my beer, when I bottle, around 70-75F. Any cooler and the yeast will take longer to carbonate. Once the beer is carbonated you could move it cooler.

I've been keeping mine at room temp and that's been fine so far.

True, but your room temp may be different from his room temp...70-75 for conditioning, cooler for aging.

What's your room temp?

Hmmm, I thought "room temp" was shorthand for 70 deg. Anyway, that's what I keep 'em at.

Once it's bottled I quit worry about the temp so much. Unless you get it really warm, you're probably not going to see off flavors from the amount of fermentation going on in the bottle. Room temp (whatever it is in your house) is probably just fine. For lagering/aging - keep 'em cold.

In Phoenix, room temp is around 75 to 80 unless you crank up the A/C and bring your electric bill over $200/ month
