i want to bottle my irish stout this weekend. i know at night the temps outside will get into the low 40's. is there any reason not to cold crash the carboy a little before i bottle in the morning ?
Here's why- cold beer holds co2 in solution better, and when you bottle a lager, you can look at a priming calcuator and actually reduce the priming sugar.

I've also cold crashed for weeks and had not problem carbonating. However, and sorry if this is a mini hijack, I have let the beer come to room temp for a day, used 5 oz priming sugar and conditioned at room temp. When bottling it from say 37 degrees and the smaller amount of priming sugar, do the bottles have to go back in the fridge or can they carb at say 70 even though the smaller amoun was used?
