Cold crashing an ale fermented mostly at 65F with Safale 04 with a small ramp to 68F at the end to wrap up fermentation. My question is whether I should nose dive to 32F as fast as my freezer will take it, or do it in increments (as some people do when lagering)?
 
And keep it down there until the destroyers have left. Actually I like to give it a couple of weeks at that temp and it really clears up, unless I am low on beer.
