Alright so I have a beer that will be dry hopped in secondary and then I was planning on cold crashing before I transfer to the keg. My problem is the only way I can cold crash is by putting this secondary in my keggerator. My concern is that my auto siphon won't work to extract the beer since the keg and the secondary will be at the same elevation. Am I right to assume this? Moving the secondary would be very difficult without really agitating it, based on space constraints I have in my tap area.
Also a lot of the reading I am doing suggests that kegging essentially removes the need to cold crash and that what you end up with is a couple bad first glasses from the tap, but after that it is basically cold crashed via keg.
What are people thoughts on this. It seems like a lot of folks on here cold crash and also keg. This beer is a super cloudy ale and I would really like to clear it up.
