Hi folks, I'm wondering how much the flavor maturation process benefits (or doesn't) from room temp (68 to 70 F) vs. cold storage temp (for my brewery, 40 F)
Sometimes I'm tempted to cold crash/transfer/keg a beer that ripped down to final plato a couple days after it's done, making sure there's no diacetyl etc. But somewhere I seem to have picked up the notion that warmer maturation temps will speed up the maturation process, helping it be ready to serve sooner.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
