Well we have all heard the one........ you cant warm your beer up after you have cooled it down in the fridge.

I want to know if this is true. I have seen no scientific backing of this claim.

THe reason i ask is i have been thinking of gassing up 50 liter kegs in a fridge @ 4 deg for a week to carb them and then take them out to wait for a spot in the keg fridge.

I have a backlog of firmented beer (150 liters) and dont want it sitting around in firmenters for the next 2 or 3 months waiting for a keg.

I have enough kegs to hold it all and figured if i carb it up and then let it sit all it needs is an overnight chill and its drinkable.

has anyone else been drinking a chilled keg and taken it out and let it warm up? did it hurt the beer?

cheers
 
Myth busted. I have seen no ill effects.

cool..... thanks Darren.

I will go ahead with it.

Will be good the have the beers pre carbed and ready to hoock strait up.

I can only fit one keg in my beer fridge and sometimes 50 liters gets a bit tyresome if its a darker stronger beer. I tend to yearn for some variety. I could just swap kegs if i feel like something different half way through a keg.

cheers
