Hi all, I've been reading about cold-conditioning and how it will improve the clarity of the beer, etc.... I have an extra fridge in my basement where I've currently got a lager in the secondary at 34 degrees. I also have an IPA that just entered the secondary and is not at final gravity yet.
My question is, is it worth it to cold-condition the IPA after final gravity is achieved? I have room for the carboy in the fridge next to the lager, and I assume it's okay to do this before bottling? After bottling, should I have the bottles at cellar temp (about 70 degrees) or put em right back in the fridge, assuming I cold-condition the carboy?
And last question, how long would you cold-condition an IPA?
Thanks.
