I've never tried it so can only guess, my guess being that the warmer the solution the more resins and oils will come out of the hops, so colder may require longer to get the same result :hmm: ...as I said purely guessing.

Let us know what you think and what you do S :thumb:
I dry hopped it today. I'll leave it at 18C for next 5 days and then crash cool for 3 more days. That will be plenty of time for oils to come out of hops and those 3 days will be enough for WLP002 to settle out. I'll let you know in few days how is the taste :thumb: :
I have chest freezer with controller so it goes down to 2C in about hour and for beer it takes longer (30L of beer). I just leave it on that temp for 3 day so that yeast can drop down and I have nice clear beer while bottling.

Sorry, i didn't understand your question. Hop oils are volatile indeed, that is why i wanted to dry hop so that i can get as much aroma that i can. I knew that temperature of beer have impact on hop oils and how fast it will be extracted from hops. It is not same if you leave dry hops 5 day on 18C and on 2C. On lower temp it just needs more time. I found 5 day on 18C and 3 day of cold crush is perfect for me.
