Cream Ale - Cold Crashing Question

[MrGrieves]

I made a cream ale last week. It has fermented fully and I would like to put it in the fridge to cold crash at 40 degrees for a week prior to bottling. My question is, if I do this, do I need to repitch yeast at bottling? Or will they wake up and carb my bottles?

Any advice appreciated.

I have cold crashed cream ales before in the 42 F range for several days and had not problems getting the remianing yeast to carb up once bottling was complete. It may take 4 weeks to condition/carb up instead of 3 weeks but it will still be just fine.

What type of yeast did you use?

I used WLP080 Cream Ale Blend.
