I have 5 gallons of raw cider that I have heated to 160ºF to pasteurize it. It is now down to ~150ºF and, if possible, I would like to rack it to a glass carboy and let it come down to room temperature on its own before pitching. My only concern is whether or not racking 150º cider to a glass carboy will stress the glass to the point of cracking or breaking.
Has anyone done this before and do you think it is relatively safe? I know that dumping near-boiling temps into a carboy is a definite no-no but I have no idea what is considered safe and what isn't. Thanks.
