I got a small (7 cu ft) fridge which I am using as a fridge for cold fermentations and lagering. My first beer in this fridge is a Kolsch which has been lagering/cold crashing for almost 3 weeks now. I have tried to keep the temperature in the 30 to 40 F range and have been checking the temperature every couple of days.
Today, I went to add some gelatin to the beer and discovered that I had partial "beersicle". The beer closest to the back of the fridge (where the cooling coils are) had frozen into a block, so now I am leaving it at room temperature for a couple of hours so that it can melt.
I am hoping that it won't affect the beer (I don't think that it should), but in the future, I will probably need to turn my fermenter every couple of days to get a more even temperature distribution.
