conditioning help

[steve01]

Good evening all

Just a quick question on conditioning. once i have bottled/barrel'd left in a warm place for a week then put in a cool place. could that cool place be a shed or an out house or would that be to cold?? :

Thanks

That should be ok! Ideally you want around 10c for ales but should be fine!

By "conditioning" are you referring to aging the beer after primary fermentation for clarity, more complex flavors, mellow out, or are you referring to bottle conditioning? I suspect it's the latter. Once the beer has carbonated (2-3 weeks at 65*) then its good to go in the fridge. I condition my beers in a brite tank, and once they are kegged, they get tagged and placed in the freezer at 40* until they are moved to the kegerator.
