Wondering if anyone has any tips they'd like to share? I'm having a hard time getting wort below 82* with an immersion chiller in the summer. Thinking of putting the glass carboy in an ice bath to chill it further. Not sure if that's a bad idea w/ glass?
I've been putting the carboy in my ferm chamber to chill, but that takes a few hours. I pitched the last one really hot around 78* in the chamber, which I know is a poor idea, but I thought it'd probably chill before vigorous fermentation started. Not sure if it did or not, but the beer turned out great with no off-flavors (that I notice). Thanks
