Hi all,
My first AG brew has fermented down to 1.007 from 1.058 in my Fermzilla all rounder. It is the GEB Pimped Up APA (pimped APA), brewed via BIAB.
At just under 1.020 I added a bag of dry hops, left for three days and removed these yesterday with sterilised tongs (with CO2 purging during additional and removal). It's now sat in my brew fridge at 23 degrees and around 10psi, I'm not sure what to do next... It will be going into a Corny keg and some bottles for any left over.
Should I:
Is the reducing slowly down to cold crash temps a hangover from 'olden days' or is this still valid? My last kit brew I just went from 22 to 2 over a couple of days, basically as fast as the small fridge could reduce the temp.
Any advice gratefully received, thanks!

Should I:
- just transfer now and finish off conditioning in the keg/bottles, carb drops in bottles, force carb of keg.
- leave for another 2 weeks at this temp, then do a cold crash (reducing 1-2 degrees a day down to 1 degree?), then transfer to keg/bottles
- something completely different
