While you're using your wort chiller, just grab it (wear gloves) and swirl the wort with the chiller until it makes a little vortex. It'll also keep your temperatures from stratifying as you chill. Once I had my temp down to where I wanted it, I pulled the chiller and covered the kettle with sanitized foil (I suppose the lid would have worked, too)
Wont this give a chance towards infection, especially with the moisture or condensation formed around the normal temp "lid or foil" that you would put on a hot kettle?
