Cold Crash Dry English Ale

[Munchkin]

Ive been cold crashing an ESB in which i used WLP 007 Dry English Ale yeast. I know a yeast with medium or low flocculation should beable to cold crash for over a week with no worries of having too low of a population to bottle carbonate. However ive never used a yeast with high flocculation properties and began to be abit concerned. Ive been cold crashing for a week and a half, any worries of having too little cells in suspension to carbonate?

I doubt if you'll have any problems. as soon as things warm up the little guys will do their job.

I am a big proponent of adding a bit of yeast when you bottle. The new dry cask conditioning yeasts work great. Just use a quarter pack for 5 gallons.

I cold conditioned my belgian triple. It went down to 40 degees and still turned out great.

There will be plenty of yeast when you bottle. If you're concerned, just allow your siphon to pick up a tiny bit of the yeast/sediment when transferring, but really I don't think its an issue.
