I like to cold crash my beer before I do my dry hop addition. This is because I harvest the yeast, and don't like the vegetative matter fouling up the collected yeast. So, I've been cold crashing it, (which is great for getting most of the yeast to drop out of suspension and fall to the bottom of the fermenter) and after getting all the yeast I want to collect, I then add the hops.
My question is, in doing this am I sacrificing much of the flavor of the hops that I want to impart to the beer? Thoughts?
