Just filled one with 5.5 gallons of a modified American Amber that is now a California Common. It may even be 6 gallons. I was considering a blowoff rig due to the minimal headspace.

Safety first! Lol

I actually thought about cold crashing my IRA outside, (-x degrees or so in Michigan now) but I thought it might be ruined if it froze

WARNING!!

Removing water in anyway is considered DISTILLING and is illegal in most places.

That being said I’ve done this many times. Cuff me

Depending on how cold you can get the keg or whatever vessel you’ll need to keep a close eye on it. This is because you want to continually remove the ice that forms on top concentrating the beer left. I keep a large SS ladle with holes in it in a bucket of cleaner and once every 2 hours I remove the ice until a gallon of water is removed from the 5 gal batch. Replace the air with Gas every time you open it up. Works like a charm.

I have done this to hoppy beers without losing much aroma. It does concentrate the bitters so be careful of what you start with or you’ll have a bitter bomb.

In my fermenters at this time we have a Scharz-bier (Dark German Lager), Brown Ale, and a DIPA.

This is called fractional freeze distilling and is completely legal.
