Another thought came to me
« on: November 12, 2022, 10:15:24 am »
With the new batch firmly in the closet at about 68 degrees, I just remembered that my bottles that I did last week are also in that closet at 68 degrees.  Is it ok to have the bottles at that temp?  Or should I find somewhere else to store them that might be a bit lower?

68F is great.

As a reminder, fermenting beer temperature isn't the same as ambient.

Conditioning yes, but not storage after it's carbed.

You are correct. I misread it.
