I made a 3 gallon (huge, I know) starter on Friday night, and I am planning on pitching Sunday night (48 hrs).
I am planning on cold crashing the starter and decanting the beer before pitching.
2 questions:
1) At what temperature should I cold crash? Is 50F too warm? Since 50F is fermentation temp for a lager, will it really floc out? If I must go colder, can I just submerge in ice bath?
2) What is the minimum amount of time I should wait before decanting and pitching?
Thanks
