Hey guys,
Thanks to everybody for all their help so far. I got another question for you all, I recently purchased a minibrew 8 gallon conical fermentor, one of the plastic types. My question is after the brewing is completed and the wort is to be transferred to the fermentor almost always it is chilled first, but could a person simply poor the hot wort into the conical and put the lid on and let it cool down on its own? Or would this greatly raise the risk of bacterial contam? I know the stated melt point of the plastic material of the conical is 250F so I dont see a problem there but I just dont know if the bateria problem will cause trouble. Any advice? Thanks.
