After the bottles carbonate, I fridge them for at least 5-7 days. Unless it's a hybrid lager or the like, then they get two weeks to simulate lagering in the bottles.
Chill haze. When your beer is first chilled you may get a haze from proteins in the beer. Given time to settle will get you a clearer beer. If that isn't important to you then you just chill the beer and drink it. I wouldn't worry about chill haze in a darker beer since you could not see it.What is the reason for putting them in the fridge for 1 week? Why not maybe 24hrs just to have cold beer?
Im new to brewing, my 1st batch ever is about to be done.
