'''Cooling''' is a critical step in the [[Processes|brewing process]]. After the [[Boiling|boil]] it is best to cool your [[wort]] as quickly as possible to a proper fermentation temperature. Cooling quickly helps to reduce the chance of infection by bacteria, and also helps to precipitate out coagulated proteins, hops and other debris leftover from the boil. After cooling, the wort is transferred to a fermenter where [[yeast]] is added and the brew is fermented into beer.
