Cold crashing and priming

[Chrissparky]

I was thinking of cold crashing my latest brew when it finishes fermenting. Never bothered doing this up to now but wanted to see if it makes any difference. I've checked Brewer's Friend priming calculator and it says to use less than 1g of sugar per 500ml bottle. Does this sound right?

depends on what style you are brewing, Ale, IPA, lager etc, but 1g sounds too low to me. remember you have to input the temp that you brewed at, not the temp after cold crashing

As Monkey says, it depends on the style but I reckon on about 2-2.5g for an ale and around 3.5g for a lager per 500ml bottle.

Try one of the online calculators like this one https://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/

Ah, I thought I needed to input the temp after cold crashing. I take it I just prime as I would usually. Does cold crashing affect hop intensity after dry hopping?
