I have an extract version of Theakston's Best Bitter in the primary right now, after only 48 hours, fermentation has begun to ease off. I had thought about racking into a secondary, but probably won't.
I was thinking maybe of trying to cold crash the beer between week 1 and week 2 and doing it in the primary. I could set my keezer for 35F and cold crash for maybe three days.
On a practical note though: I'll have to lift my five gallon fermenter into the chest keezer, then lift it out again and onto the counter top after cold crashing.
My question is will moving the fermenter after cold crashing will resuspend the fine particulates, or are they pretty stable once out of suspension?
Thanks,
Charlie
