I know there are alot of threads out there (read a ton already) on cold crashing. I still have a few questions since I'm about to bottle my first batch, an Amber ale.
1. It's been sitting in primary bucket for 2.5 weeks now. Bottling day would be later this week...should I spend the last few days cold crashing it in my garage (35-40 F)? 3 days long enough?
2. Here's my main question...I'll have to move the batch upstairs to the garage so I'm guessing its gonna get jostled a bit. Should I rack to bottling bucket before crashing or should I relocate primary to garage then rack to bottling bucket in the garage after the fact?
3. Can somebody better explain the use of gelatin and its benefit?
Thanks...
