Ok i just put my pilsner into secondary. I know that it will be cloudy for a bit but I am wondering if cold crashing would help to clear it out more. When should I Cold Crash it? It was in primary for 1 week and just went to secondary last night. I would really like to get it as clear...

Well guys I have completed my first all grain batch and it is in the primary. It was a blast me and my dad had the house smelling like Pestalozzi St. in St. Louis. We brewed a Classic American Pils grain bill was 9 pounds. Everything went great. It was freaking cold the night we brewed...
