i know this must have been asked before, but to be sincere i was lazy to use the search :eek:

I just racked a pale ale that i had in primary for 2 weeks at about 65 F (60 F on my johnson control on a mini fridge). It finished with an FG of 1.012 as expected.

Now my question is at what temp should i secondary? I have it at 64 F now and plan to leave it at that temp for 10 days, then drop it down to 45 F to clear it a bit for 2 days, then back to 64 the day before bottling. What do you think, does it sound right?

i used Nottingham by the way.....

I would not bother crash cooling a pale ale. It will be super clear after the secondary. Just keep it at room temp for 2 - 3 weeks and rack to bottling bucket.
