Hi guys,
I've created a few batches of cider already, and im still experimenting. So far I have not cold crashed, however I have seen it mentioned a few times.
From what I gather it is the process of placing your brew into the fridge after fermentation? And it sounds like this somehow can improve the flavour and also help yeast settle.
My current batch has been racked for a few days, looks like fermentation has finished. I was going to let it sit and age for a little while, maybe a few weeks. Is there any point in me cold crashing it first?
Should a brew be transfered to a new container after cold crashing to seperate it from the sediment?
How does this differ from just having it bottled and then placing the bottles in the fridge?
