How cold is too cold?
How cold is too cold?
Getting pretty chilly out in my garage at the moment, how cold is too cold for the beer in my cornies and bottles?
Re: How cold is too cold?
I would have thought that as long as it doesn't freeze, it will be OK. So maybe start to worry if it gets down to 1 or 2C.

Re: How cold is too cold?
It will likely mature more slowly when colder, but its not really a problem (provided any priming fermentation is complete). As Jim says, I'd only really worry if it actually froze - even then my concern would be more for the cornies and bottles than for the beer.
With the cornies, its probably best not to leave CO2 pressure attached; changing temperatures can play havoc with carbonation levels even if the gas pressure is constant.
