1) I use Quaternary Ammonium compounds (Quats) to sanitise my dishes etc
- have a three well sink. I used that chemical for my first batch with
no problems. Just doing a paranoid check here that I can continue to use
that method to sanitise in the future.
2) Read the points about cooling Wort. This relates to a food storage
problem - reducing the temperature of foods prior to storage. In the
food industry one method apart from ice baths (snow et al a
"reproduction" of that) is to stir the hot food with an ice Paddle ...
Looks like a soda pop bottle with wings on. You fill it with water &
freeze it then stir the hot liquid gradually with it. - Some
enterprising home brewer may want to try that with a litre bottle (after
sanitising it of course). The real thing is under $20 at a restaurant
supply store.
