My krausen dropped completely at day 9 in the primary. It's presently day 11 and the beer temp. has been raised to 68 F; it's still a little hazy, but much clearer than it was a week ago. I am racking this beer to secondary and adding a substantial leaf dryhop for 8 days.
I was thinking of cold-crashing before racking to secondary and then adding the dryhops. As long as I bring the beer temp back into the mid to late 60s before adding the dryhops, would this be practice be better than cold-crashing after the dryhop is complete? I assume it will assist in helping to create a clearer beer, free of yeast sediment.
