I did my first "no chill" brew last weekend. I love the benefits it offers. Since I pitch within 24-48 hours I figure I can do a hybrid method and get the best of both worlds. My plan is to drop the hot kettle in about 15 gallons of cold water. This rubbermaid will be the sanitizer/cleanup vessel as well. Added benefits over no chill I see:
1) warmer water to cleanup with.
2) no worries about hop additions adjustment
3) still get a cold break
4) still get a real wort starter
Cons-
1)doesn't save as much water
2)cost 3 times as much in sanatizer
neither of these concern me. My concern is if I am missing something on the CON side.
