I have been fermenting in the upper 60s. I plan to dry hop once fermentation is more or less finished. Would a 10 degree temperature change have any difference on the effectiveness of dry-hopping? Say I lowered the temperature to high 50s - or would something like this not matter at all?
 
High 50's will be fine, the colder it is the longer it will take for the beer to take on the hop flavor and aroma.
 
What about dry hopping for Lagers in the low 30F temp zone... how many days before bottling should dry hopping occur?
