Hi I just wanted to share the way I cooled my wart and let me know if there is a reason why I shouldnt do it this way. I dont have (Made yet) a wort chiller and stupid me only had a half a bag of ice on hand.
.Flame out
.Wort pot went into the sink with the lame amount of ice. Didnt do much as far as temp.
.Placed a gallon of cold water in the pot and that cooled it down to about 150
.Poored the now 2 gallons into the fermentation bucket and added another gallon which cooled it down to about 80.
. the last gallon went in luke warm and that put it at about 70.
It cooled it down in less than 10 minutes this way. Is this a bad practice?
