First off let me thank whoever invented the "bottle beer out of a keg with a racking cane" thing. I tried it for the first time and WOW that was easy. Very convenient, and cheap. It only cost me about 50 cents for the stopper. Pure genius!
Second, my question. I can see me bottling a LOT of beer now and I was wondering what peoples opinions were on storing it. If I store it where I ferment (64F in the winter, 70F in the summer) is that okay? I dont want to completely fill my fridge with bottled beer as I will have kegs in there also. Does room temperature storage affect it much? I know that retail is mostly stored at room temperature, but turnover is much higher there. Kind of a noob question I know, but I am asking it none the less.
Thanks!
