We all have our challenges, and one of mine is getting my wort down to pitching temp. I can get it down to about 75F in a reasonable amount of time (20 minutes or so), but from there it seems to take exponentially longer.
So I tend to call it good enough and siphon my wort through a double mesh screen to aerate and cool it a little further (since room temp is 70F). Should I be making more of a concerted effort to drop it those last few degrees? My tap water is cool enough that if I spent the time, I could get it down to the low 60s.
