wart cooling

[hoonjeabrew]

is it okay if we let the wart sit over 12 hours before pitching yeast and beginning fermentation.

If its covered and everything is sanitized it should be. But be careful Warts can be contagious if you're not careful...

You want to cool the wort as fast as possible and pitch yeast to limit the possibility of contaminants or wild yeast getting to your wort and causing off flavors.

I don't practice it myself but there are some good threads on the no chill method. Check it out: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/exploring-no-chill-brewing-117111/

Psssst........it is spellled W-O-R-T.


But other than that, if you can seal it up with NO exposure to air, you should be ok. But personally, I like to pitch yeast right away so they can get about their business. Why do you wanna wait?

Oh and pronounced "wert"

First why do you need to let it sit for 12 hours? I have to wait 24 hours for my wort to cool enough to pitch the yeast because of my current location here in Singapore. I can get it down to around 90 within 10 minutes. I know I can use ice but ice is expensive here.

Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face!
