Ok..So i'm close to bottling my second brew..Chinook IPA
My first brew turned out ok..most of my bottles were not carbonated and some too much..chalking it up to not mixing the priming sugar
Anyway, back to my question. I dry hopped with pellets (no bag) 5 days ago and plan on bottling in the next few days. I did not use a secondary. My question is should i cold crash?? I have a spare fridge with plenty of room for my fermenter. My only concern is that I read that this could affect the carbonation by dropping the yeast prior to bottling?? Is that so?
I would hate to have another batch with carbonation issues...what are your thoughts?
Thanks
