Temp change
Another question!
I will be putting a stout I'm making in a temp controlled fridge and ferment it at 60 degrees.
I currently have bottled beer in there at 40 degrees. Will raising the temperature to 60 affect the bottled beer or will it be ok or should I put the bottled beer in a fridge I have in the garage. Not crazy about that since I'd have ot walk to garage ot get a beer, or put a TV and Lazy Boy recliner out there next to the fridge and I'm set. Don't think the wife would be too crazy about that idea though.

I don't think it'll harm your beer. I've taken chilled beer out of the fridge to make room for other stuff and put the beer back in a couple weeks later. I haven't noticed any problems. Plus, think about the temperature fluctuation commercial beers go through with all the transportation, sitting in distributors warehouses and then finally the store. And half of them end up siting on the shelves at room temp.
60 degrees is still a cool temp for beer storage. Temperature fluxs don't really harm your beer as much as you think. Espcially, when the range is still at those cool temps (40-60F).
Carbonation times may speed up but that isn't a prob usually..........if the beer is even still carbonating.
GL with the wife.................a lazy boy next to a fridge full of homebrew sounds pretty nice.....I'd try that first LOL
