I am placing them in the frige since it will be hard to keep them at right temp or between 62-70 (farm stout instructions) since at night the temp wil be a 10+ degree swing, so I am storing most of them in a frige and the rest in an icechest. I suppose right now it would be ok for room, but when it ...
