help with starter

[Jah]

when making a starter do i need to rapidly cool down the wort or does it really not matter? i hope i didnt screw up because i just let it cool down to 80 degrees on its own before i pitched the liquid yeast.

you did good.

Cooling it down rapidly reduces the chance of bacteria attacking your wort.

I fill the sink with ice water and put the pot in that to help it cool faster.
