Cold crashing with multiple carboys?

[jpitts38]

How do you all go about cold crashing a batch when there may be another batch still fermenting? I've got a temp controlled freezer as my fermentor.

For now I can move it to my garage fridge to crash but I plan to make that my kegerator.

Thanks

You have to do some planning so that the beer that is fermenting is past the fast part of the ferment. Once the ferment slows you take it out of the chamber to complete fermenting, put the one in that you want to cold crash. Most ales only need temperature control for 3 to 5 days.

I just cold crash in my serving keg.

While I have cold crashed prior to kegging, and still would if I was looking to get the clear beer flowing asap. But laziness has the better of me and I have found cold crashing right in the serving keg to perform equally as well ...

I use sanke kegs that have some free space under the spear, if you using corny kegs perhaps shorten the liquid tube a 1/2 " or bend it up slightly to provide a little dead space in the keg for particulates.
