I labeled 30 pints of APA, 16 pints of ESB, and 6 pints of cider and put them in the garage fridge to "cold age". I also cleared some room in said fridge to cold crash a gallon batch of 15-minute blond.
I've never done that before, but this is still looking a bit turbid. Maybe because it's the first batch of beer I've done in a completely clear fermenter. Normally I ferment for 2-3 weeks, bottle carb for 2-3 weeks, chill for 1 week, then drink, so I don't really see it for 5-7 weeks. This one I see every day and it's not quite 2 weeks old. But the whole batch is an experiment - Can I brew a decent, simple extract beer in 15 minutes and drink it 3-4 weeks later? Seems reasonable to me.
