My first ever batch has been fermenting for two weeks (primary and secondary combined). I believe (correct me if im wrong) that I'm ready to bottle. Everything has gone smoothly so far. I have all my facts straight on priming (or so I think).
Once the beer is in the bottle, do I immediately set them in the fridge to 'age' or do they remain in a 'cool dark place' as it was when it was in secondary? If they do go in the fridge is there a certain temp that I should keep? I have a keg fridge now (don't kill me... it's Bud Light) which I will be converting over for exclusive use in my brewing hobby so I can set the temp to whatever is required.
I have also seen mention of 'cold filtering' but have found no reference to the technique. I would imagine this is just allowing your beer to age at lower temperatures once bottled? If someone could please give me a little insight into the 'cold filtering' technique before I bottle this weekend, it would be much appreciated
