I'm currently cold crashing a keg of cream ale. I would like it to be as clear as possible. I've already used whirlfloc. At this time, I'm pouring off buts at a time to taste, check clarity, etc. it has been coming out pretty cloudy. About the same as a hoegarrden. So I left a half glass if this sit overnight at room temp, and in the morning it was much clearer, and all rhe sediment was collected at the bottom.

With that said, would it be wise to let my keg sit at room temp for a day so all the sediment can drop? Then pour out a pint or so til it clears?
 
Keep it in the fridge as cold as possible. The colder temps will cause all of the particulates to drop out faster than at room temp.
