I’ve been reading about this soft crashing to drop yeast then slightly warm up the beer for dry hopping however I have no real way of hitting those temps in the 50’s for a soft crash without placing my full glass carboy in my keezer then taking it back out again and that suckers heavy. So I was thinking with my beer on day 8 sitting at 73deg I’m gonna place it in my keezer on day 9 to cold crash but thought about adding my second dh addition of four ounces that way it has some surface time of 50-70 deg then it’ll fall out as the beer chills for 48hrs. Or I thought I’d add the second dh at 73 deg for 12 hrs then cold crash the beer. Trying to avoid serious hop creep like I’ve been experiencing lately dry hopping in the low 70’s.
