cold crashing

[Benny1982]

I have my first A/G fermenting. Should I cold crash it between the primary and secondary fermenter? Do I need to add anything if I do that? Also should I cold crash it before bottling and should I add anything then? Another question is if I cold crash it before I bottle should I let the temp raise back up to room temperature or bottle it cold?

Thanks,
Benny

Don't bother cold crashing between primary and secondary. I might crash when bottling but I'm not sure since Idk how that affects the yeast for carbonating. I'm a kegger so maybe somebody with more bottling experience will chime in.

I crash before both, seems like it helps with clarity, only about two days before secondary though for me...hope this helps

I cold crash before bottling, up to a week, and have no problem with carbination.

Also I see no need to warm it up before bottling just store the bottles at 70 degrees and it should carb up fine.

I personally like to cold crash and add isenglass.
