So, keep that in mind for your next brew! 1st dump at 3-5 days after reaching final gravity. Dry hop for no more than 2 days and dump again. Cold crash and keg. For now I would cold crash again down to 33f, siphon out the beer and transfer to another keg and all should be fine. I have a 15 gal...

Did you dump yeast/Trub prior to cold crash? And what was your cold crash temp?

If you cold crashed the hop residue should have dropped out. If the hops are at the bottom of the keg you’ll want to transfer the beer with a floating dip tube or siphon into another keg or suitable container. After which the beer should be just fine.

Trying to cold crash the way I described did not work! That is to say, it is a very inefficient way to cold crash. The heat generated by the keezer drives up the ambient temperature in the room by about 7 degrees. Therefore an air conditioner has to be used to cool the room. I was able to drop...

I did a yeast/trub dump this morning which is day seven of fermentation. So, Sunday (day ten) I will start the cold crash in the method I described and let you all know the outcome and any process changes!

Thank you guys for your input! I really appreciate it. I always cold crash over a 24 hour period. On day ten of fermentation the beer is transferred and cold crashed from 70-75f to 25 -37f with no control. I have never had any off flavors. II have enjoyed beer from the top craft breweries in the...

The method I use to cool my wort is to pump it through a SS coil in an ice bath. I can go from 212f to 64f in 30 minutes. It’s the same concept of a plate chiller but in a larger format. So dropping from 70f to 25f in a matter of hours should not be a problem. I have never had a problem with...

I’m thinking that after the initial yeast/Trub dump, if I can get the temp down and the beer can sit for a couple hours, then the remaining Trub will sink to the bottom. I forgot to mention that this is a murky TIPA that will still have sediment floating around. I cold crash this style only to...

Thank you for your feedback. Oxidation is not a concern because it’s a closed system that will be purged with CO2 first. As for plugging the coil, it could happen, 25f should not pose a problem, but maybe I should adjust the temperature starting at 50, 40, 30, and finally 25! Stepping down the...

Thank you! I brew mainly imperial stouts, usually with abv ranging from 10% to 19% with different adjuncts. I make my own recipes! The IPAs I brew are also higher abv ranging from 9% to 15% with many different hop combinations and grain variations. I have brewed some strong Belgium beers as...

I have a TIPA that I am going to cold crash by pumping the beer from the conical fermenter through a 304SS coil sitting in a keezer at 25*f and back into the fermenter! I use a similar method to cool my wort but haven’t tried it on the cold side yet! Please let me here your concerns or if anyone...

Hello all! I’ve been home brewing for about 6 years, mostly IPA’s and Stouts!
