Keg cold crash

[BohWarden]

Can you cold crash a beer while it's under pressure in the keg? Or will the co2 screw things up?

Thanks

It will cold crash. Just dump the first few oz or till it runs clear

If you hadn't cold crashed it already in the primary (my preferred method for clarity), when you drop the temp into the upper 30's for force carbing purposes, you're effectively cold crashing it anyway. It'll work fine, CO2 or not.

Every keg gets "cold crashed" on CO2, unless you like warm beer, or prime your beer with sugar for carbonation. Chilling a keg while on the CO2 is pretty much SOP for many.

The colder the beer, slightly more CO2 will be absorbed, so just don't over carbonate, you will be fine.

Yea I usually put my primary in the fridge and cold crash that way. Just wasn't sure if co2 would affect it or not. Thanks guys.
