Cold crashing

[crabby hermit]

I added some pellet hops to an extract brew. It is now ready to keg do I wait for it to clear a bit before I keg or can I cold crash to speed up the process? If so how long do it usually take to cold crash? Thanks.

Cold crashing can take quite a variable amount of time depending on the yeast and your expectations. I crash for a week and then it's ready for me to keg.

Appearance is not an issue for me. Hop particles gives the beer character ,however last time I didn't wait long enough and had issues with clogged dip tubes and poppits. Thanks again for your guys help.

hmmmm, I've put some pretty thick beer in my kegs, and I've never clogged a line. But I make sure there are no hops carried over.
