Hey, I'm a nOOb. Big surprise, huh?
If I have 1.5 approx gallons of hot wort, and 3 gallons of cold water in my carboy, what is the purpose of chilling the wort to any specific temperature?
Today (my second batch), I cooled it down to about 110 degrees and poured it into the carboy through a strainer funnel. By the time all of the wort was poured into the carboy and water was added, the 5 gallon total was below 78 degrees, and ready for the yeast.
Am I missing some critical check point?
