Dry hopped an IPA with 3 OZ citra on Monday 6/24. Plan was to dry hop 7 days and bottle on Monday 7/1.

If I cold crash it saturday, sunday, monday, will that have a negative affect on the dry hopping?? Or should I not cold crash at all?
 
No negative effect. Most of the hop flavors are already extracted after four days (assuming you're not rousing the hops). In my experience, you'll have a much easier time racking off the dry hops with the cold crash than without.

There's more info in the 'Similar Threads' below...

Caveat: my experience is mostly with using pellets to dry hop. If you are using whole leaf, I can't say for sure.
 
Thanks for the reply @abrix thanks for the tip about the similar threads also, I had never seen that before. That's a handy function.
