Summer here in the south makes it hard to get our wort below 80 degrees. Witha wort chiller we can get it to 80 in a little less than 30 minutes. We usually put our wort in a carboy cover it and throw it in the fermentation fridge till it geta to 70.
My questions are: how long should I wait to pitch the yeast? As long as it takes for the wort to get to pitching temps? Is there any danger with off flavors because of the lag time?
