So I've seen both methods in instructions and in online forums. In some cases it is recommended to cool the wort down to 70 degrees before adding it to the primary, which takes a long time. In other cases it is recommended to add the wort to three gallons of cold water, and then wait for the whole thing to be a 70 before pitching yeast. In most cases it is at 70 degrees as soon as I add the wort to the water.
So if I am using a plastic bucket for a primary is there any reason to wait for the wort to cool before adding it to the water in the primary? Obviously adding it to water is much faster.
Can someone explain why in my situation I would wait for the wort to cool by itself?
Thanks!
