I was planning on crash cooling my recent Scottish Pumpkin Ale for a day or two to clear it up as much as possible. I've never done any crash cooling so I wanted to ask a few questons:
1. Do I even need to do it?
2. Will crash cooling affect carbonation since I bottle?
I'm suspecting the yeast will go somewhat dormant during the crash cooling and "wake back up" once it is bottled and back into warmer temps. I just wanted to check in with the more experienced so I don't risk a bad carbonation.
I'm suspecting I just need to crash cool, and RDWHAHB.
