Answer 7

I guess so...

Answer 8

Cold to warm skunking is a myth. It is actually caused by sunlight breaking down oils from the hops.

You'll be fine to do it, but be warned that cheap beer is meant to be consumed fresh and doesn't age well. Your average pale lager must be consumed within 6 months for proper flavor.

As a side note...I collect and age beer. I have well over 250 individual bottles in various stages of aging at the moment and have done years research on the subject.

Answer 13

yeah, you can.

Answer 14

eh you can, but it might get skunked

Answer 15

chill beer? You dont chill beer, you get it damned cold.

Although you can "unchill" beer, what you're going to be doing to it may not make it something that you'll want to consume.

In college, we used to call beer that skunky beer - beer that had been refridgerated and warmed and cooled again.

Remember, beer is alive. It's full of yeast. Like it or not, you do have to take decent care of it or it will turn.
