So, I've cold crashed a few times now...but always ending in a keg. I'm going to bottle a batch shortly and I was thinking about cold crashing prior to that just to have all the nonsense drop out. That being said, if I cold crash, will too much drop out and there will be no yeast left to act on the priming sugar?
 
There will be yeast left but I have heard it could take 2 times longer to bottle carbonate if you cold crash first.
 
I only bottle and have cold crashed several times. I have never had any issues with slow or low carbing because of it. I guess if you cold crashed for a week or two you could have problems, but I usually go about 3 days and have good results.
