Hey all,

I'm new to home brewing and I've got a quick question about cold crashing. I've got a blonde ale that's been in the primary for two weeks and i was thinking about cold crashing it to promote clarity. Two questions:

1) how long should it cold crash before bottling?

2) will the extreme cold kill the yeast preventing them from turning the priming sugar in CO2 in the bottles?

Thanks
 
I usually secondary....but you can put the primary in the fridge too.... Several days to a week is what I do when crash cooling. You can still bottle...it'll just take a couple of more weeks to carb properly. So if your the patient sort...go fot it...
