Do you chill your bottled homebrew?
I seem to recall a number of posts in the HBT threads referring to sticking your beer in the fridge for a few days after bottle conditioning prior to drinking.
Is this just to compact the yeast/sediment? I've noticed on my last few beers (a Surly Furious clone, and a bourbon barrel porter) that I think they taste better right out of the basement conditioning stash.
I imagine the fridge is in the low 40s, and the basement is in the low 60s. I'll confirm those one of these days. Makes some sense since ideal serving temps are around 55, which is closer to 60 than 40.
