Storing bottled homebrew

[mygar]

I have read it's best to store at cool temps. My house is about 76 during summer. Ok to store bottled homebrew at this temp?

It's a little warm but should be fine just make sure to keep out the sunlight. I store all my bottles in the basement and it runs about 68 to 70.

At 76 it will not age well. If you drink it all within a month or two it should be fine but storing it any longer should be kept cooler if possible.

Ok I guess I should have said my beer never last more than 2 months after bottling lol I drink it to fast

Ok yep figured it a bit warm. I do need to get a fridge but was hoping to hold off a bit. This is a wheat beer as well... and I take it what's dont age well right? You want to drink these sooner than later.. think I read that somewhere

I think 76 is fine, a tad warm but shouldn’t hurt it. It is recommended to drink wheat beers young and don’t really age them so drink up now!
