If you cold crash beer in the primary or secondary, will it require an additional time for bottle carbonation to occur after it’s primed? If so, how much?
Do you adjust the amount of priming sugar added because you’ve cold crashed it?
Should you warm up the beer before siphoning to the bottling bucket, add priming sugar, and bottling or just take it out of the fridge and start that process?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Just prime and bottle as you would if you didn’t cold crash.
Obviously, store the bottles where it is ~70 degrees until they are carbonated.
Carbonation might take a couple of extra days since the beer is starting off pretty cold.
I’m cold crashing a Belgian ale for a couple of days. Then I’ll let it sit at room temp for about 4 hours, after that I’ll do a normal bottling.
Letting it sit for a few hours really won’t make a difference, just bottle it cold and then keep it somewhere dark and above 70 and it will carbonate fine
