I use a counterflow chiller and I can usually chill a 5 gallon batch in 15-20 minutes.
However, during that time, I'm always kind of scared some wild yeast or bug is going to find its way into the boil kettle via the air and ruin my batch since the wort is no longer boiling or hot enough to kill any intruders.
It hasn't happened yet, but is this something I should worry about?
