Chill the Wort
Connect the wort chiller to the water supply and take a screwdriver and tighten any clamps on it (they seem to loosen up each time). Turn on the water and make sure it drains into a pail or a hose. It is hot enough to kill grass and plants and it will burn if it splashes on you. It will take some time to cool wort, depending on your wort chiller, from 15 minutes to an hour. Turn on the cold water and let the wort chiller start doing its thing. If possible, chill the wort in place on the burner. If you have to move the hot wort to a sink to use your wort chiller, wear oven mitts and check your path ahead of time to make sure there are no skateboards, beer bottles, pets, etc. to trip you up while carrying the hot wort. Make sure there is a clear spot to put the brew pot down at your destination. Chill the wort to about 80F or lower, the pot should be cool to the touch.
