I dweebed out and forgot to get my yeast out yesterday but I really need to get started on a batch of beer tonight. A brief look around tells me that postponing the pitch isn't a problem as long as cleaning/sanitizing is good (which it is). My big question is what about chilling wort?? My thought process tells me it's not really necessary because the main reason to chill is so you can pitch as quickly as possible and get it in the fermenter. If my logic is good, then how should I store the wort until tomorrow's aerating and pitching? I thought I would just take the kettle off the heat and put it on the kitchen counter with the lid on.
