Hi. my first brew has been in the bottles for about a week and a half. it's an ipa.
I've had it in the cupboard under the stairs where it is pretty warm. I'd say 20c.
my place is pretty warm so the only cold option is the shed where it is pretty cold at this time of year.
is cold conditioning totally necessary? what happens if it just stays at 20c? I'm worried it could freeze in the shed if we have another cold snap.
I've tasted one bottle and it wasn't too great (a bit fizzy I think I over primed it plus a bit bitter and a possible 'homebrew twang') so I'm hoping for a bit of an improvement as it conditions.
what's general opinion?
