Dropping secondary temp before bottling

[pod_021]

Hey guys, I can't really find a definitive answer on this so apologies if its on another thread. I'm looking to get more stability when bottling so in wondering if I reduce the secondary temp a couple of days before bottling will it 1. Help with clarity and 2. Offer more consistent bottle conditioning ? Thanks guys

If you're thinking of "crash-cooling" to brighten up your beer, it will definitely help with clarity, but shouldn't/won't have any effect on consistency of bottle conditioning. That's really a function of how well priming sugar is distributed throughout the entire batch when bottling...

Cheers!

I cold-crash most of my brews, the exceptions being stouts/porters and wheats...

Cheers!
