Fermentation and Conditioning

[puzx]

Hello,
I just brewed an amber ale about 4 days ago, which I have fermenting at 70 in a fermentation chamber. The fermentation is beginning to slow, so once done, the recipe says to condition the beer for another 7-10 days before kegging it. For the conditioning, should I just leave it at the same temperature of 70? Also, I am planning to cold crash it maybe for two days at the end of the 7-10 days, what is a good temperature to cold crash?
Thanks

70 degrees for conditioning will be fine. So would 75. No reason to change the setting though.

Cold crashing is better the colder you can get it but setting the control too close to freezing may cause freezing. Somewhere between 35 and 40F should work.

If you don't already know, cold crashing will cause a pressure drop in the fermenter which needs to be addressed. If you don't have a plan to address it, you might want to skip this step.
