Hi Folks,
I´m planning on transferring from primary fermenter to keg;
then priming my keg (with malt extract).
I´m wondering if I should cold crash my beer
before priming my keg or after when I´ve reached my carbonation?
I believe I should cold crash my beer before priming if I plan to
do bottle carbonation (because I don´t want too much yeast sediment).
But if I´m priming my keg, would it get carbonated faster without prior cold-crash? Then I would cold-crash my keg; and filter-bottle straight away.
Besides, can somebody share his experience with cold-conditioning?
I´ve heard that lots of brewers have achieved awesome brews with cold conditioning near 32F.
Clarity apart, I don´t understand what are the benefits of cold-conditioning over conditioning at cellar temp (55-60F).
I´d appreciate some heads up.
Cheers.
