Cool and ferment

Fermenting at 20c in fridge with heater in it. Will increase to 22 in next 4 days.
16th Oct - have turned off the heat in the fridge as can’t hear any more fermenting, and am now letting it cold condition as temperatures outside are around 3 degrees to 12 degrees.
23rd Oct (3 weeks) have cold crashed the beer at 3 degrees.
