Hey all,
I am looking to limit the temptation of having tasty homebrews constantly around. I am planning on keeping my fridge beer-free during the week, and chilling bottles for the weekend only. Any beer that is not consumed by Sunday gets taken back out and stored at room temp.
Is there any adverse effect in changing the beer's temperature? Of possibly doing this repeatedly? Is there any difference if the beer is in bottles as opposed to kegs?
If/when I go to kegs, I think my strategy would be to change the kegerator temp to like 75 during the week, and then to ideal temp for the weekend.
I know that the "skunking" effect is based on light exposure, not contrasts in temperature. But is there any effect on the beer when changing temperature repeatedly?
