The thing I'm curious about is whether cold crashing is simply to keep things from settling in the bottom of the keg. I don't have enough room in the kegerator to cold crash carboys, and kegs won't stay sealed since the beer will suck in all of the co2. Does cold crashing need to occur before carbonation? I let my last beer just sit in the keg connected to 30 lbs of co2 for a few days and it came out pretty clear, but I've seen clearer. I've been thinking about using gelatin. I would prefer to add the gelatin while kegging and then put it right in the fridge under 20 or 30 lbs of co2. I don't mind sucking up some crap from the bottom on the first few poors.
