For ales thats typically around 12celsius and 8celsius for lagers, though obviously personal prefernce comes into play and you can always allow a beer to warm up if its too cold when you pour it.beersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-33210048682132401592011-12-09T09:54:31.525-05:002011-12-09T09:54:31.525-05:00@JArrod & @JJ: You're both kind of right.
...@JArrod & @JJ: You're both kind of right.<br /><br />Only light, not temp, can "Skunk" a beer. But temp shifts can degrade a complex beer. <br />I've had the misfortune of accidentally performing several beer temperature-shift experiments.<br /><br /><br />Too hot: you lose some flavors and pick up some unpleasant flavors, and the hops fall out.<br /><br /><br />Too Cold: Some of the proteins precipitate out, leaving you with a "clearer" more translucent beer. You lose mouthfeel and chew.<br /> <br /> Buy two unfiltered, bottle conditioned cloudy wheat beers and toss one in the a bucket of ice water for a couple hours. Pour them into identical glassware, next to each other. You can see the slight difference in opacity.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869285599839268212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-46729254855666632462011-12-07T16:51:02.007-05:002011-12-07T16:51:02.007-05:00@Jarrod: I'm going to have to say from my exp...@Jarrod: I'm going to have to say from my experience that multiple changes in temperature is definitely NOT GOOD. This most certainly applies to lighter bodied and alcohol beers which aren't as stable for long periods of time on the shelves. I will also back this up to say that unfiltered beers are also not as stable to temperature differentials because the organic ingredients in the beer can cause some seriously bad tastes with the variables of temperature and time in play. Generally speaking of course.<br /><br />Matt I love when you said "Where do they come up with this shit?"

Often some variation of "If you get a beer from the cooler you have to keep it cold", or "Once you cool a keg you have to keep it cold or it will get skunked"Jarrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13334881203740651047noreply@blogger.com
