I think I might be interested in cold conditioning an ESB I'm planning, but I've never tried it before, so I want to double check a couple things.
According to Palmer, you want to bring the temperature down like you're lagering for a week. Does this mean as cold as I can get it above freezing? I'm planning on putting my carboy on ice for the last week in the secondary.
Is there any chance that I'd crash out my yeast and make bottle conditioning impossible? That's probably my biggest fear.
