Can someone explain why one would cold crash your beer and when.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Ok, right on. Thanks. One more question... Is cold crashing effective without using gelatin?

This random thread that i read because i thought it was one i had posted to earlier about cold crashing.
Turns out that i learned more about cold crashing and answered my question about why my cold crashed and gelatin we ag irish red ale was so long in carbonating.
Edit( sent to early )
Does it matter if any hop material gets into the secondary? Will it sink if it does? This is my first time dry hopping an 2nd time cold crashing. Is there a good/easy way to do this?
brewkinger said:So to clarify... You have already added dry hops in primary?
You are going to rack to secondary and THEN cold crash?
If some of the hop material makes it into secondary, that is ok. It will eventually drop to bottom of fermenter.

And I just saw this ^^
My primary is a bucket, that shouldn't matter though, right? My secondary would be a plastic bottle. Why cold crash in the primary vs. secondary? Isn't better to get the beer off of the trub for cold crashing? And if I cold crash in the primary, should I just start to cold crash during my dry hop period to save some time?
How much mixing do y'all gelatinizers do after the addition?
None.
I just remove the foil cap from the refrigerated carboy, pour in the measuring cup of gelatin solution, and put the foil cap back on.
