I am getting ready to end my first Cold Crash with a rather light ale.
I will be bottle conditioning and am not worried about having enough yeast. It seems obvious after reading over the forums that a 4 day cold crash would not require additional yeast.
I am concerned about taking the carboy that I am cold crashing and pulling it out of my fridge to warm up. I have heard some people say that the proteins etc. that have settled out will rise back up and dissolve back into the beer making it hazy again.
Is this true? Should I rack to a separate carboy and allow that to warm up before bottling time? Or will I be okay just taking my carboy out of the fridge and allowing it to warm up to 68F on its own?
