Cold crash before or after secondary w Cholaca/Cacao

[USMChueston0311]

Im brewing a Chocolate porter, and using a secondary because im adding cholaca, and cacao nibs, and following their guidelines.

Ive been told to cold crash in primary before racking on top of cholaca and cacao, and ive read to cold crash after secondary. Any advice?

Thank you guys, you are the best. Ive learned SOOO much from this forum!

Cold crash is a maturation step used to flocculate particles yielding cleaner beer.
Makes no sense clean your beer and then add some more particles into it.
To me cold crash is always the last step before bottling.

Just add the cholaca and cacao nibs to the primary once fermentation is complete. Cold crash a couple weeks later.
