Cold Crashing

[JohnSant]

Newbie here. Just a quick question about cold crashing. What is the best temp to set my mini frig at? I have temp controller installed.

I don't cold crash very often, but when I do it's usually around 34 degrees.

Thanks gwcr don't want to mess this up. It could be good beer!!!!

Anything below 42 or so really helps from what I've read. Even 50 is better than nothing.

Thanks Beer Lord i've got to start somewhere, so as long as its colder than fermentation it should be alright. I have seen some posts on Mr Beer that it should be in the low 30's and some posts say around 40. Just trying to get this as close to right as I can, and make some progress on my beer making.

I set my JC at 38 for my minifridge, and crash for 3 days.

I don`t believe it matters as long as it is 40 or below. No difference between 35, 36, ...

Thanks to all the Brewers giving me advice in sure is appreciated. maybe with all of your help I may turn to large batch brewing before long. "its just me and my LBK for now."

Late to the party but my fridge is set on 34 and I crash for 3-4 days. It always helps settled out and clear up the beer.
