Hi all,
I just bottled my first batch of beer last week...thank you, thank you, please hold your applause! So it's coming up to the 1 week mark in the bottle and a friend of mine who has much more brewing experience than I (not hard to do that!), said that he typically chills his bottled beer after 10 days or 2 weeks or so in order to stop any sort of fermentation in the bottle (to avoid exploding bottles, over carbonization, etc.) I've read like crazy to find any thoughts on this but can't find any...does anybody here have any thoughts on that?
I'm asking because I have very limited fridge space and I'm not sure if my basement is really cool enough...
thanks in advance
