Hey folks..
Been reading the "Brew Like A Monk" and have tried out some recipes. My question is with regards to the lagering at near-freezing temperatures most recipes include. I don't have a fridge big enough for my carboys so I'm looking to doing a secondary at room temp instead. Is this a bad idea? The way I see it, the purpose of the cold secondary is just to crash out the yeast, am I way off here?
