I don't use secondaries, but after primary, my beer goes into a keg where it sits at 38 F for the remainder of its life.When storing beer, the colder the better (without freezing).As for differences, cold storage will precipitate out yeast, proteins, tannins, polyphenols, etc...faster than warm storage. It will also slow development of age related flaws like oxidation.how long to people normally cold-condition beers in secondary?

That's the answer right there. Whenever you get to the point where you're going to chill the beer, just keep it that way... whether it's in a secondary, keg or whatever. Get it cold once primary is done and keep it that way until it's gone.I don't use secondaries, but after primary, my beer goes into a keg where it sits at 38 F for the remainder of its life.

Not for secondary/cold-conditioning/lagering, no... I would say no adverse effects. I wouldn't want to see the beer go from 35° to 80°, but I don't see that... even in the balmy environs of St. Louis.Good info, thanks fellas. Should I worry about temperature change in the garage? For example, let's say the temp gets up to 50 from 38? Any adverse effects?

I probably wouldn't worry. Large temperature swings are more of a problem during fermentation.@Zym,Good info, thanks fellas. Should I worry about temperature change in the garage? For example, let's say the temp gets up to 50 from 38? Any adverse effects?
