I just got a 60 qt. stainless kettle that has a false bottom and drain valve. Wanted to know if it is common to cool the wort in the kettle or to drain off and then cool? I'm assuming the cold break would clog the drain right? Can this kettle be used as a mash tun as well? If I want to do a partial mash can anyone suggest the best way to do this with this type of kettle? It has a thermometer built into it as well. Any tips appreciated.
