IPA Question:
With most dry hops recommended at 5-7 days, and many on this site saying cold crashing should be minimally 2 days long, can both be simultaneous? Or better to offset by a couple days? Or better to do dry hop, then crash after?

Just thinking that crashing will cause the hops to drop, would that affect the potential for full aroma?
 
You can dry hop when the beer is cold, but it will take quite a bit longer to achieve the same level of flavor/aroma as room temp. You would be better off dry hopping for 4-5 days, then do the cold crash. You can start the dry hop in primary as soon as the krausen falls.
