Back again, just brewed a pils style ale (not enough time to lager before the big day, wedding beer)
I do 5 gallon extract w/ grain bag steep.
All the conventional wisdom is 'cool your wort as quickly as possible to 68-70f
before pitching.'
what's too long too wait? 2hrs? 30 min?
when do I really start risking getting bugs in there?
Thanks all.
ps, after pouring wort into 2.5 cold water and topping off with an additional gallon or so, the wort temp was 80f.
