For one of my recent batches which is an Irish cream ale, the secondary fermentation took place in one carboy for a week before I switched it to a different carboy for a second week, leaving behind the yeast at the bottom. Will this have any negative effect on the beer?
I made my first homebrew not too long ago (a lager) and and right after bottling I put some of the bottles into my refrigerator (4 degrees Celsius) . I recently heard that this is bad for the beer. What exactly does this do to the beer and can I correct it?
