A week at 27-28f constant is good. If you have to do it at a higher or
fluctuating temperature (such as outside) I would go longer. (2-3 weeks.... all depends on conditions I suppose). Watch your airlocks don't come out or freeze due to fluctuating temperatures(use vodka etc) and remember that O2 is much more soluble at lower temperatures. HTH John Dixon "Weez" wrote in message ... How long and at what temp should I cold stabilize. I imagine this will also help tartrate crystals from settling in the bottles. Louise  )--

I've thought about the solid bung thing, but my experience(especially
outside) is that variances in the temperature and hence pressure push them out when I least want. I Also question whether under the right conditions a carboy might implode. I imagine it would work well under controlled refrigeration though... John Dixon "pp" wrote in message om... "J Dixon" wrote in message ... A week at 27-28f constant is good.
