is there any benefit to lagering an ale?
i've got an ale that i decided to put into a chiller after a one week fermentation in the primary and a second week of very slow fermentation in the secondary. now it's in the secondary in my fermentation chiller at about 38 F. i was planning on keeping it in there for another two or three weeks, just to see if lagering an ale makes any difference.
what are the boards thoughts on this? is it worth the extra time?
