Was just reading the post about cold hopping and got to thinking about a process. I do high krausen hopping a lot and would like to try to cold hopping maybe at cold crashing around 32F for a couple days. Anyone doing this?

I am thinking of trying hoppingat both high krausen and cold cold crashing on a brew I'm doing now. Any advantage or disadvantage to doing this in your opinion
 
As I mentioned in the article there are some advantages to cold dry hopping. The technique you mention (high krausen dry hopping) can assist in biotransformations to promote fruity flavors, but that is a separate issue from the cold dry hop in this article.
 
Cold dry hopping enhances beer aroma without introducing unwanted bitterness, as it avoids high-temperature extraction of hop acids. This technique preserves delicate, fresh hop flavors, making the beer more aromatic and refreshing. Ideal for IPAs and craft brews, it delivers a smooth, vibrant profile that appeals to both brewers and beer enthusiasts.
