Sorry guys, I hate to post about something that has probably been covered a billion times, but the search seems to be down and I'm bottling this weekend...
Cold crashing... from what I've read so far is that it is a process by which one cools their beer prior to transfer out of the primary so that all suspended solids/yeast drop out of the beer. This results in a clearer brew?
So here's the question... how? Can I just stick my primary outside? It's going to be a low of 16F tonight so is freezing a concern?
And then, do I siphon into my bottling bucket and allow to reach room temp. before bottling?
What if I don't get to my bottling tomorrow, will it hurt for it to remain that cold for a couple of days?
