Does anybody cold crash prior to moving from primary to secondary.. if so do you do it again from seconday to keg also?
I crash right from primary to bottling. Works wonders on the trub in bottles. You can give a beer to somebody without worrying about providing detailed instructions on pouring it.

I just did my first cold crash of the primary, then straight to a keg. Pouring nice and clear.

Most people use their lagering cooler or a serving fridge, if you don't have such a place I don't know what you would use. The colder the better down to freezing, and for as long as it takes to get it as clear as you want.
Just one question - if I bottle the beer, wont the yeasties be all settled down after the crash and beer would not carbonate?
I just put the carboy in the fridge ~ 38F for a couple of days.
There will be plenty of yeast still in suspension even if you can't see it, unless you crash it for a year or two.
outised overnight will be ok? 28F at nights
