Once the boil is done I understand we need to chill the wort to get it down in temp quickly.
Question:
At what point do I need to move everything indoors?
I'm assuming that the outdoor air isn't good when we are so worried about things getting into the wort.
But we aren't to aerate the wort once the yeast has been pitched either.
So is the trick to cool it then transport it into the house asap while still in the boil pot? Then move it to the fermenter?
Or is pouring it into the fermenter then taking it inside and down to the basement before pitching the yeast the way to do it?
Suggestions?
I'll be going down 2 flights of stairs with 5 gal of liquid. Its gonna get sloshed around. My guess is this will give it the aerating I need! With that in mind I suppose pouring it into the 6.5 gal fermenting bucket them putting the lid on and moving it to where its gonna sit makes the most sense. Get it down there then remove the lid, add the yeast, then continue...
