Cold crashing question...

[tlavas]

I have been cold crashing my Porter at 38 for the last two days before kegging it...How long should I go before I keg it?

IMO there is really no need to cold crash an opaque beer just go ahead and keg it...

If you are cold crashing for clarity purposes, then 24-36 hours are sufficient. After 12-24 hours I add gelatin to 'lockin' the sedimentation.
I do have to agree with duboman about the need with darkish beers, although I admit I crash everything(except my lagers which I guess are coldcrashed for a month or more)

Thanks...that's what I thought...Mainly crashing so that the beer is cold going to keg and carb...And cleanup of the carboy...
