If there is anybody on the Internet today I have a procedural question. My beer making kit came with a book and part of the instructions in a nut shell states that I need to cook the wort and then cool it. The cooling could take some time without a inter cooler or other device. After it reaches about 85 degrees, I am to move it to the fermenter where I can add the remaining water and then yeast.
So my question is: Why not use the cool water that I pour into the fermenter to aid the cooling process? Would this cause an affect to the wort or later yeast? It just seems that the cool water would greatly reduce the cooling time in the process.
Happy Thanksgiving!
