Finished beer storage

[this_is_my_username]

Hello all!

I will be bottling a stout this weekend and bottling a marzen/bock style in 2 weeks. I'll end up with about 100 bottles of beer. The stout should end up being about 6.6% and the marzen/bock about 5.8%.

I plan on leaving the stouts at cellar temp which is 61 F and only likley to go down as we move into winter. The marzen/bock I was planning on lagering in the bottle in the fridge for a few weeks.

So my questions are:

Can I just leave a 6.6% stout at 61F for storage or will it reduce shelf life too much? Should I pop that in the fridge too?

Do I need to keep lagered marzen/bock at 5.8% in the fridge or can I move it back to the basement after lagering?

The stout will be fine . As for the Marzen , I'd keep some in the basement and some in the fridge, then as you pull from the fridge to drink refill from the basement.
