So, right now in my ferm fridge I have an IPA that has been dry-hopping for 5 days, and I want to bottle it on Wed (2 days from now). Lots of pellets still floating on the top, and I want to get a nice clear beer, so I plan on cold crashing it tonight.
In the fermentation fridge, I also have a spiced porter that I brewed the same night that I racked the IPA, 5 days ago. Right now, the fridge is set at about 72 degrees...
Will this be an issue with the porter? I know that dropping the temp will stall any fermentation going on. Will dropping the temp for a few days, and then bringing it back up to 72 be an issue? Should I just do a reading and if it's close to the target FG just let it go? And if it's not, then wait or think of another option?
I actually thought about emptying my other garage fridge to make room for the IPA and cold crash there, so that might be an option also...
What would you do?
