Ok, so I recently built a stir plate that works great. I understand that you don't need a whole vortex of the starter wort. I also understand the time it takes to run on the stir plate. I even understand the ratio. But my question is kinda simple. When making a starter I place the calculated amount of DME and water and a pinch of nutrient in the erlenmeyer flask. I than heat to a good rolling boil. The real question is I hear everyone say than cool before adding yeast. How do you go about cooling this mini wort. If you go about using an ice bath is that safe having boiling wort in a glass and than dunking in ice. Am I missing something. Am I better off making starter in pan and than adding to the erlenmeyer flask after cooled? How does everyone else go about this?
