My first created beer....question...

[matthammill]

Ok guys I am 1 week into fermentation with my first beer I created. I used 6lbs pisen lme, 1 lb.pilsen dme. 1lb caramel 40l, 8 oz caramel 20l 1oz centennial full boil, 1oz cascade at 40 min and a capfull of ciriander at 40 min. I am going to dry hop .5 oz. Citra In secondary. Og was 1.060 today it is 1.018. Should I cold crash for a few days before moving to secondary and dry hop?

O, and used us05

 

[Hello]

I thought you cold crashed prior to bottling.

I am kegging, so just go to secondary and dry hop, then cold cradh in keg?

This. I'm assuming you are force carbonating.

 

[matthammill]

Yes

Also, there is no reason to transfer to a secondary container. Just wait for fermentation to finish, and dry hop right into the primary fermenter. Then after however many days you wanted to dry hop, transfer to the corney keg and cold crash/carbonate.
