storing bottled lager

[stephent]

I have a husky fridge that i was going to store/chill my bottled lager in. However i was going to put the bottled on their side. I am guessing that this isnt advised as it will mix up the sediment in the bottle?

How do you all store your beers? Standing up?

'Fraid you will have to store your bottles upright to allow the sediment to settle.
Can you not make a shelf for your 'Husky' ??

there is a shelf, but not sure if i will get a bottle below and a bottle on top. I'll have to take a look.

If all fails it can go in the big fridge.

I bottle some of each of my brews before I keg them.
Maybe about 10 bottles out of each batch.
I use 500ml PET empty water bottles.
These should fit in your fridge cos thats what that fridge was designed for.
P.S.
They don't look very nice but they do the job!!!!

tried my bottles and they dont fit under or ontop of the shelf, gutted. It was designed for cans i think, so just a bit small. At least i can get one layer in there.

If i stored on their side how long would the sediment take to settle?
