After trial...and mostly error, I have decided to be more patient and subscribe to the "Long Primary" school of thought. I've vowed to leave my beers in the primary for no less than 21 days.
For those of you who cold crash at the end of a long primary, do you count the cold crashed days in your Primary Fermenation schedule, or do you consider that another step? Is the yeast still "cleaning up" when cold crashing or does that process stop?
I have a beer that has been sitting in primary for 18 days and I plan to keg it on Saturday (day 23), force carb it, and condition it in the keg for 2 weeks. Should I start cold crashing it now?
