I tried searching but cold crash is a very BROAD topic on here! Made up a 1.5 liter starter last night for my brew tomorrow afternoon. I am making a 3.5 gallon batch, so I am concerned about pitching the entire starter in there. That would increase 15% the volume of the wort with nasty starter beer. I typically pitch the whole starter, but was thinking maybe I should cold crash tonight, so I can decant tomorrow? That would be 24 hours after making the starter. Is this enough time to let a starter go before cold crashing? I use a stir plate.
