This question has been touched on in some other posts, but no direct answer to this question. I've brewed a Belgium pale ale and left it in the primary fermenter for 4 days, then 12 days in the secondary. At that point I put it in the keg and then back in the fridge at 65 F. I'd like to put it in the Kezzer at about 2 C because I have more space there and need the fridge for the next batch. BS 2 sheet recommends a 4 day primary, 10 day secondary, and 30 day conditioning all at about 65 F. Does it really matter if I let it condition at 65 F or 2 C? I don't really have much choice since I can only ferment one beer in the fridge at a time, but I can fit 4 corny kegs in the keezer. I'm just wondering if I'm loosing anything by not letting it sit around at 65 F. My final gravity is below 1.008 so I'm pretty sure all the sugar conversion has taken place.
