I've recently made a great IPA, loosely based of Nugget Nectar profile/schedule, and have some questions on improving the hop floral character.
I'm planning on throwing in about 4 oz of various hop pellets into my primary and letting it sit for a week at room temp (about 68).
1) My primary fermentation ceased about 4 days into the fermentation, but it started out around 68 and rose to 72 for 12 hours before I cold down to 68 using 1056 and a swamp cooler. Would cold crashing at this point help remove any off favors from high ferm temp?
2). Would cold crashing assist in better dry hopping and dropping things out/for a clearer and cleaner beer? When should I do this if so?
