While boiling wort seems to be a pretty straight-forward practice, it's a necessary step to ensure the enzymes are denatured. It's equally important to cool the wort after the boil. This is a job best suited for a wort chiller from E.C. Kraus. This time saving piece of equipment is essential for home beer brewing, because it cools the batch from boiling to yeast pitching temperature in fifteen minutes or less. Cooler wort decreases oxidation and the threat of bacteria infecting the beer. The wort cooler can be connected to any standard faucet to decrease your brewing time.
