Well, I would say at 11 days, they are not ready to be racked, but if your in a rush.
24 hours cold crashing will do to drop most of the yeast, anything over 48 hours is just not really needed. Please keep in mind that your target is around 34F, or just above freezing to compact the yeast on the bottom. No big worries if it is higher. Also, longer you let the cider ferment, clear, and condition the better it will be so start up another batch that you don't need to rush.

I have cold crashed my cider for 1 to 3 days. I have tested several yeasts and some are hardier then others and withstand the cold. I think 11 days fermentation is find as long as your happy with the taste of it. I have gone anywhere from 7 days to 21 days depending on where the taste and the gravity was. I usually cold crash at 1.020.
After the cold crash and racking put an airlock back on it and at room temp watch it for awhile and see if the airlock starts to bubble again. I had a few yeast strains that did so. Champange yeast was a tough one for me to get it to stop. I just dropped a campden tablet in and it stopped. After a week or so I bottled. Good luck!
