Question about cold crashing

[stpetebrewer]

I have been thinking about cold crashing a beer I currently have in the fermenter right now but have a question first. If I do cold crash it will it still have enough yeast in the beer to carb the bottles? Also what is the typicial temp to crash it at? Thanks in advance!

Yep, it will. Cold crashing doesn't kill off the yeast-- just puts 'em to sleep for a while.

I cold crash just above freezing. 32-ish degrees.

I cold crashed to 36F-38F recentely on a Janet's Brown Ale that was in primary for 4 weeks. The cold crash seemed to help settle very fine particles that where in the beer. I attempeted to take before and after pictures of the beer clarity and yeast cake (3 gallon batch fermented in a carboy):
