I have a heavy hoppy beer that I'm going to rack to secondary soon. There is a decent amount of cloudiness/haziness in the primary right now, so I'm thinking about cold crashing it after I get it in a secondary (after fermentation is complete).
My question is this - if I cold crash in a secondary, will the beer still carbonate when it comes to bottling time? I don't want to sink all the yeast so that none is left for the bottles with the priming sugar, etc.
Along those same lines, what is the best time frame to cold crash? 2 - 3 days? At what point in the secondary would I want to cold crash it?
Thanks!
