Lagering Question

[vance71975]

Would it hurt to lager age an Ale, Such as a Stout? For example, it is looking like i MAY get my mini fridge sooner than expected, would there be anything wrong with brewing up a nice stout, Kegging it when its done, and aging it in the mini fridge COLD the whole aging process or should it be aged warmer?

anyone ever done this?

Lager is the german word for store, beer wise it means cold storage. I prefer to "lager" all my beers. I have a separate fridge for storing and carbonating all my beers for a month or 2 before they make it to the kegerator. It's a great process for almost all beers. I don't lager wits, hefeweizens or saisons though.
