Cold conditioning

Is anyone letting ales spend time cold prior to bottling or kegging?

 

Not necessarily before kegging, but I do let my some of my ales condition once in the keg at cool temps (in the 40's) prior to putting pressure on them.  I don't necessarily do this, it is just that I keep them in my kegerator before I pressurize them.  I don't notice much of a difference, though.

 

Does my cold Montana basement count?  I don't think it has been above 55 down there for the past month.

 

I'd say it counts, I count my 45 degree garage.

 

I store my kegs in a room that gets near freezing...that's about as far as I go.  One day I will invest in a refrigiration unit, but I would need to have a better place to do that (Extra fridge in an upstairs, already-cramped apartment?  No thanks! tongue)
