Hi guys,
So I am planning to add dextrose in my fermenter (I've done drops to the bottle in the past). I want to cold crash which I've previously done which seems to work quite well. Can I add my priming sugar before I cold crash or will the lower temp have some affect? If I add the sugar post cold crashing I feel like I'll just stirr up all the sediment and the cold crashing would be for nothing?
Also, I see there are calculators for amount of Co2 which is based on temp. Is that the temperature you fermented at, or when you are bottling? I suppose a third option is the temp you are conditioning at?
Any thoughts on this? Thanks
