    I'm going on a vacation to lake Powell next week and want to bring my home brew, but am wondering if there will be any issues. It will be near 100 degrees every day and due to limited fridge / cooler space some of the bottles will be in that heat for a few days. In the shade, but still hot. Anybody ever had experience with storing beer at very high temps? I would assume over carbonation won't be an issue since there's a limited amount of priming sugar, but I'm worried about off flavors.

    Hi

    100 F is not a recomended temperature for beer. I'd rig something to keep it from getting quite that warm.

    Purchase a Disposable Styrofoam Cooler at Walmart for a couple bucks and Store the beers in that to keep them cool.
