I have successfully made about twenty extract brews, different kits and experiments with hops. The last kit that I bottled was a Saison which was dry hopped with pellets. I was a little unhappy with the amount of residue that ended up in the bottles. I have heard of 'cold crashing' the brew in order to sink all the hop residue and yeast matter, making it easier to syphon and less stuff ending up in the bottles but will the absence of yeast effect the time it will take to prime the beer?

If you cold crash for a few days you'll be fine, people on here crash for a week and have no problems witch carbonation. You don't need much yeast to carbonate a bottle.

I have a feeling that if you cold crash before bottling it will slow down the speed of carbonation. Lots of people on here state you need 2 weeks in the warm after bottling, but I don't cold crash and always find it only takes a few days.
Of course, I might be talking b******s.

And you can use an hop bag to keep the hops in whilst dry hopping
