I've been pretty disappointed with the clarity of my last few batches and have decided to cold crash the IPA I brewed to see if that helps. It's a 10 gallon batch in a 14 gallon Blichmann Fermenator. I didn't want to suck any sanitizer (or bad guys) through the airlock, so I capped everything off, essentially making an airtight vessel, before sticking it in the refrigerator. My worry is the vacuum that is created when the temp drops and damaging something, but I have to believe that the fermenter is solid enough to handle it. Or is it? What's the best practice here?
Thanks!
