I know a couple of you mentioned secondary at a cool temp. What would be the optimal temp for that? Somewhere I saw 40f-50f... how's that? BTW it's for my APA... thanks
 
that'd be good thing to do.
it's not necessary for an ale like it is for a lager, but a cold secondary will definitely help the yeast and any other crap settle out nicely. however, you may run into issues of too much yeast falling out if you're attempting to bottle condition. carbonation might take a while or might be inconsistent if you don't have enough yeast in the bottles.
