Is there anything "magic" about cooling your wort down to 80 degrees within 15-20 minutes of killing the boil? By that, I mean is the point just to cool the wort down quickly, or is 80 degrees an important threashold for a cold break.
I added 2 gallons of ice slush and a half gallon of room temp water to my wort and that brought it to 94*F in about 2 minutes. Unfortunately, I had virtually no ice on hand to bring it down colder and my tap water is warm so it probably took an hour to get it from 94 to 80.
Thanks,
Doug
