I am due to make my first home brew in a couple of days (5 gallon in total) and one of my main concerns is cooling the wort as quickly and safely as possible.
I was thinking of boiling 3 gallon wort and to cool it down use 2x 2 liter pop bottles(sterilized) of frozen water(pre-boiled). Once cooled down a bit then add to fermentation bucket and top up to 5 gallon with room temperature water. Target temp is 70-75c
Would you say this ok?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
cheers
