Dry Hopping and Cold Crashing

[40oz]

When you account for a 3 or a 5 Day Dry Hop Time, do you typically Dry hop for those 3 to 5 Days then Cold Crash for say 2 Days, or do you also figure in those cold crash days into the 3 to 5 day Dry hop.

i.e. Dry Hop 1 Day, Cold Crash 2 Days for the 3 Day?

Makes sense for me to do 3 days of Hop, then crash for 2, then proceed to bottle or keg.

Thought I would ask

Thanks

Right or wrong, not sure, but I never account for that. If I plan to dry hop for 5 days, I'll dry hop for 5 days and then cold crash.

I don't cold crash hoppy beers. I only dry hop for 48 hours and get the best results, in terms of aroma and a bit of flavour. So I guess it depends on your taste how long of a dry hop you enjoy. Cold crashing: about 2-3 days should do the trick.
