Is cold crashing an ale after the secondary a useful technique? I'm just thinking of more ways to clarify.

Secondary removes alot of the trrub and excess yeast. I still use a secondary and cold crash. My beer is clear as commercial beers.

Use the same amounts of priming sugar regardless of whether you cold crash or not. HOWEVER, if you do cold crash before bottling, the priming sugar will not ferment unless it's around room temp; you'll need to store the bottles for a couple weeks between 65-72F in order to get proper carbonation.

I asked about sugar amounts because it will change from .6oz for 6 gal at 32F to 3.2 oz at 65F using this calculator.
