Essential for lagers. I find a spell in the fridge really brightens up ales too, but they don't need anything like the time needed for a lager. A week'll do fine.

My kegging routine is 7 days ferment, 7days cooling, 7 days gassing up (97 kpa )and 7 days to drink it.

The 7 days in the fridge really cleans up the beer.
