I've only been brewing about 6-months. I've brewed about 8 different styles during that time. Each batch has bottle conditioned (and remains in the basement) @ approx 60F until ready to drink. Periodically I bring a couple bottles of each batch up and put them in the refrigerator a few days-week before drinking.
It appears over the past month or so the flavor of the beers continues to change... It seems that I enjoy most whatever is the current batch and as the beer continues to age it isn't as smooth as it was originally, maybe even becoming bitter?
So if the yeast are still doing their thing in the bottle, and that's the reason for the change in taste, should I refrigerate as many as I can, and since I only have one refrigerator, is it ok to put them back in the basement until I'm ready to drink them (and re-refrigerate)?
