Do you just leave the airlock as normal, or do you plug it?
Do you just set your temp to your desired cold crash temp from the outset, or do you slowly drop it down to that temp?
I'm asking because I recently infected two small batches (luckily they were small. unluckily one of them was a rare yeast I had been building up and it was on the final stage of propagation...) and they weren't infected until after the cold crash. Which leads me to believe that I crashed them too quickly, which led to air from the chamber sucking into the fermenters.
I like to be able to crash quickly. So would it work to just stick a starsan soaked cloth into the hole, or something like that?
