Hi,
I brewed an IPA on Sunday, and wanted to get some input on cold crashing and dry hopping and timings. I am not going to use a secondary, since I have read it does not make any difference. I do not have a fridge so I will have to cold crash in a cooler I modified for fermenting (see attached pic).
Here is my timeline:
Brewed: June 2
Cold Crash: June 16
Warm back up: June 18
Dry Hop: June 19
Bottle: June 23
Questions:

Questions:
- If I cold crash, will there be enough yeast to still build CO2 in the bottle? I could skip cold crashing since it might not work in my cooler anyway.
- Does the timeline look ok, or should I change something?
