Secondary fermentation

[adamzworld]

I've syponed off my Wilko's Copper bitter into a pressure barrel yesterday and I'm now going to leave it in the cupboard under the stairs for a week or so while it clears. I've got an old fridge which I've adapted (butchered!) to fit a pressure barrel. My question is; after I've left it in the cupboard, can I move it to the fridge to condition it, or will this be too cold?

I was hoping it might speed up the process a little bit, but I might be wrong.


Cheers,



Adam

Personally, I give it 2 weeks in the warm after priming.

I'd like to see the thoughts of the experienced keggers as I've just used my mini-keg for the first time and it's fits in the fridge in the garage with just a shelf taken out!

I think you might find that some of the priming sugar will be absorbed into the beer, meaning a flatter ale. I found this last year when the temp fell into single figures.
I'm sure it will be OK if you remove the barrel before you drink it.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong as I'm still learning

Cheers

Richard.
