I would have no problem cooling before pouring, but my brew pot was donated to me and it's very wide, my chiller does not completely submerge in 5 gallons of wort and takes 30mins+ to cool. If I dump hot wort into my 6 gallon primary bucket, my chiller is completely submerged and I can easily make an ice bath out of my gigantic brew pot in no time which would cool my wort much faster.
Any thoughts about why pouring hot wort into 6 gallon plastic primary would be a bad idea? (besides obvious safety reasons..)
Im broke right now or I would just buy a smaller pot or a plate style chiller, so upgrading my equipment is out of the question for a few months
Thanks!
