I used to use liquid yeast exclusively. After a hiatus from brewing, I started up again last fall. Since then, I've used S-05 for 80% of my beers (and have also tried S-04). They're both great yeasts, produce quality beers (definitely comparable to 1056). I also appreciate the convenience and...

I started using a prechiller this summer, and it's definitely worth the time and money. Even with 80*+ water temps, I can cool ten gallons to pitching temps in about 30 minutes (compared to an hour earlier in the Spring).

I added 25' to my existing 25' immersion chiller. I used a SharkBite coupler, available at Home Depot (The SharkBite Connection System) to connect the copper ends. It hasn't leaked, but I bent the tubing so the coupler was outside the kettle, just to be safe.

I've used buckets for sparge water before and have never had a problem. Definitely don't use the carboy.

10 gallons of a Rye Wheat with Safale 05 for me today. Unfortunately, I got careless and got a nice burn on my arm (spray from the immersion chiller shortly after I placed it into the boil), but still a good brew day.

You could try some oven cleaner to get the soot off. In the future, rub the bottom of the pot with a cheap bar of soap. After your brewday is done, the soot should then wash off easily.
