Cold crash to bottle conditioning question

[TheBigDebowski]

Hey y’all quick question that may have been covered on here already...

So I’m getting ready to bottle condition my ipa that’s been sitting in the fermenter for a couple weeks now. It’s a little cloudier than I’d like and I was considering cold crashing it before I prime and bottle.

I know cold crashing isn’t an issue with keg carbing since the co2 is forced into the beer using that method. My question is will cold crashing leave enough suspended yeast to munch on the priming sugar while bottle conditioning? I’d hate to get a flat (and sweeter) beer that didn’t produce any co2 in the bottle. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

Yes, you can bottle condition after cold crashing. I have done it without issue.

According to my opinion cold crashing works best for forced carbonation.
