Bottled Temperature?

[hitman73]

Hi, I have just got my first brew set up. Question is, I know i need to keep it at a certain temp during fermentation, but once bottled can I store it in cooler temps? Its a New Zealand brew, Lion Lager. I dont have a lot of space, so want to put the bottled lager in the shed. The shed gets down to about 2 degrees celsius (35 F) with it being winter now.
Any help much appreciated

Once you bottle it, keep it around 20°C for about 2 weeks to allow the yeast to ferment out the priming sugars and create the carbonation of your bottles.
Then storage at lower temperature in your shed is not a problem and is actually preferable.

It will carb at lower temps, it just takes longer. May be much longer, but yeast remains active at > 40 degrees.

20-21C would be better for bottle carbonating & conditioning. Too cold,& the yeast can go dormant.
