Hi; I am a full grain brewer who till now made an effort to quickly cool the worth after the boil, in a couple of large enamel pots using the kitchen sink and cold water bath. Now that the temp in my garage, where I do the boil, drops to around 10C, or even lower overnight, I just leave the worth in the pot, after the boil is finished in the evening, for the night to cool off. In the morning, I use a sieve to get rid of the leaf-hops and then stir in the yeast in prep for the fermentation. I have done this a couple of times and noticed no drop in the quality of the finished beer. Would appreciate comment about this. Thanks.. Emry
