Hi folks,
I understand that you're supposed to wait at least 21 days before opening a bottle of homebrew. But I also understand that the beer should be chilled from 48 hours to one week before opening so that the CO2 is re-absorbed into the beer.
Now does that mean that ideally you should wait 21 days, then stick the beer in the fridge for 7 more days? Or does it mean letting the beer sit 14 days, then stick it in the fridge for 7 more. Or some other combo?
Thanks!
