Cold Crash before Bottling?

[jmoore77]

If I cold crash my secondary 24 hours before bottling will that effect the corn sugar carbonation process. I'm dry hopping this batch and would like to drop the temp to say 40-45 for 24 hours before bottling to help clear my final product.

Thoughts?

Thanks

No, you just bottle it the same way with the same amount of sugar. No problem at all. You can even bottle it still cold, and allow it to warm up to room temperature to carb.

Awesome Thanks!!!

I had the same question. It's surprising to me that too many yeast don't drop out, impacting carbonation.

It doesn't take almost any yeast to carbonate a beer. It might take a little longer if you cold-crashed the pants off it, but no way cold crashing is going to affect final carbonation level.
