Hi Guys,
I know this is a not generally a great idea but suppose someone had a clean fermenter and emptied boiling wort from the kettle directly into it.
That same person could save about 2 liters of wort from the batch, cool that down, and use it for a starter.
Then since the wort was still to hot to be infected, if it went directly into a sanitized fermenter and just cooled naturally in someones basement for a couple of days. What could happen? Is this really a big problem for people?
