Ok to do this recipe without refrigeration.

I just stumbled across this recipe and I would really like to try it. Only problem is, it calls for a final conditioning phase that is refrigerated. I'm not able to do this. What difference, if any, would it make if I skipped this refrigeration?

Not enough to matter. Would be more of an aesthetic thing...especially if you plan to bottle.

I'd also skip the secondary and just dry-hop in primary.

Thanks for the response. I'm looking forward to this recipe.

In essence, you're "cold crashing" in the bottle, which will clear the beer as long as you pour carfully.

It's an ale.....no cold necessary, other than cooling to consume
