I don't have the space for a 2nd fridge and don't want to continue to tie up my kegerator anymore when I cold crash.
I finally bit the bullet and have a plate filter coming to me with kegs and CO2, etc.
I would still condition in secondary, but rather than cold crash, just do the plate filtering and then bottle.
Will I be missing out on anything with this process in terms of the quality of the beer?
Specifically when it comes to say an IIPA which sometimes calls for cold crashing for up to 4 weeks... what if I just kept it in primary/secondary a bit longer and then filtered?
Look forward to what y'all have to say...
