Cold crash ?

[mduff001]

I am cold crashing for the first time and have seen a lot of contradictions on articles so hoping for some advice

iT has been in the fridge around 40 degrees since Friday I added gelatin on Saturday and plan on bottling this upcoming Saturday.

My questions are :

Do I need to bring it back up to room temperature?
Do I need to pitch new yeast?


Thanks a lot in advance and cheers

No

No

Just to be a PITA I'll say:

Yes

and

No

(You will have to bring the beer back up to room temperature after it's bottled.)

In order for the bottle conditioning to occur you'll need to raise the temperature back up for a few weeks so it doesn't matter when you bring the batch up to temp. I personally would remove it from the fridge and set it up where you're going to bottle for 20-30 minutes (to let it settle from the move)and then bottle it. No need for adding new yeast as what you have is still viable.
