"Dry hop cold and short."
My process is right now: Crash out yeast with a cold crash at 28F (-2C) for 3 days. Get beer to 61F (16C). Transfer to dry hop keg. Wait 12 hours. Shake for 10 min. Cool to 28F (-2C) and wait 4 days. Transfer to serving keg.
I feel like the long cold crash in the end helps to reduce hop burn. But it also extends the contact time for the dry hop to a total of 4,5 days.
Are you concerned about reducing the cold crash time to limit the contact time for the dry hop?
What are your process regarding timing during dry hopping and the following cold crash?
