Hi, brewed beer from extract kit tonight before realizing the company i ordered it from forgot to include the yeast! ( Thanks Northern Brewer, this of the third time you've done this).
So, I'm going to wake up tomorrow and drive 40 minutes to buy yeast and pitch my yeast in the morning.
My question is, how should I store the wort without yeast overnight?
Should I cool it in a ice bath and let sit in the sanitized fermenter at room temperature? Or should I leave it in the hot kettle and let it cool in the fridge over night? Or any other options
Also, if i cool and put in fermenter, should I aerate it tonight or right before i pitch the yeast?
Please share advice and be as specific as possible thank you!
