Just bottled my first brew (christmas ale from AHS). Tastes good but a bit cloudy. I'm happy with it.
I have two choices with the bottle conditioning. I can let it sit at room temperature 78-82F or I can put in the fridge (as many as will fit). With the possibly exception of cracking one open on friday before I go away (I know its too early but I have no willpower!), whatever I do with them in the next day or two is how they will stay for three weeks (minimum) as I'll be away.
I'm leaning towards leavign them at the warmer temp (fermentation was kept cool by keeping in cold AC) and then putting them in the fridge for a couple of days at least before drinking.
Thoughts?
