    Are you cold crashing when you brew? I brew beer but haven’t cold crashed a batch yet. Is there a difference in the taste?

      So far, I always cold crash to get the impurities/ carbohydrates to fall out of the solution and leave a less hazy wort. I like a gnarly trub in my kettle, before I start transferring to the ale pail/ bucket fermenter. So, I don’t know what a beer would taste like without it. I’ve only brewed ales and lambics so far.
