My Pale Ale

Yeah,you can cold crash it after it reaches a stable FG. I don't do it myself & get clear beer. But you can if you prefer.

i've never done it- but i have a friend who swears by it. from what i understand right now- i'd do 2 weeks primary, then put the fermenter in the fridge for a week, then rack, prime, and bottle cold. then it sits at room temp to carb yada yada yada. does this sound right?

I just got the ingredients. I decided to just get enough to brew one batch just incase I want to make any adjustments when I do my bulk order. I also decided to get the Wyeast American Ale 1056 since I can just wash and reuse that for my next batches. I'm brewing on 5/5/13. I'll post again after the brew session.

I wouldn't count on the beer being done & settle out in 2 weeks. It should be at a stable FG 1st,then give it 3-7 days to clean up 7 settle out. If it's still cloudy or misty,but done,crash it. But it should at least be at FG first. And yeah,National home brewer's day (observed) is today.
