I'm getting ready to rack to secondary to dry hop in a couple of days and wanted to know your thoughts of dropping the temp of the wort to 50-60F for a couple of days to help the yeast drop to the bottom of the carboy. After racking to secondary, allow the temp to increase to 68-70 to help with dry hopping before cold crashing after 7 days. This is IPA style. Thanks in advance.

That would work just fine if you want to do that. I'm more inclined to just leave it in primary, and then add the dryhops to the primary 5 days before packaging. I don't cold crash very often, but if I did I would do it just before packaging. Your idea would work if you're planing on racking to a clearing vessel before dryhopping.
