I normally get those emails but I haven't seen that one yet. Obviously, you don't want to refrigerate the beer while it's conditioning, but I wouldn't be concerned at all about crashing to 30-40F for a week or more before conditioning. Plenty of people on here lager for a month or more before bottle conditioning. Some will add some dry yeast to the bottling bucket, but others don't and it seems to work fine. Just may take a little longer than normal.BeerSmith just pushed an article to me about clearing beer and it said not to refrigerate beer that would be bottle conditioned since the yeast could die or it would reduce ability to condition. Is this really a concern?
