Once the boiling is complete, it is important to cool the wort quickly. There are several reasons for this;
\u2013 to stop the extraction of bitterness from the hops,
\u2013 limit the evaporation of flavourings and essential oils,
minimise oxidation,
\u2013 prevent the formation of too much DMS,
\u2013 give a good cool break,
\u2013 limit chill haze,
\u2013 avoid wild yeasts and other bacteria.<\/p>\n
Extraction of bitterness; a rule of thumb states that every time the temperature drops by 10 degrees Celsius, the extraction decreases by a factor of 10. Or in more understandable Danish; 1 minute at 100 degrees corresponds to 10 minutes at 90 degrees or 100 minutes at 80 degrees etc\u2026 is not entirely factual, but gives an idea of the correlation.<\/p>\n
Oxidation during mashing, boiling, and cooling causes the formation of undesirable flavour compounds, such as cardboard, wood, or paper.<\/p>\n
DMS, or Dimethyl sulphide, is formed from S-methyl methionine (SMM), which is in turn a component of malt. SMM is only found in large quantities in very lightly roasted malts, pilsner and the like, and it is already significantly reduced in pale ale malt.<\/p>\n
Cool break, in Danish; koldtrub, is a protein clumping that occurs with very rapid cooling (thermal shock).<\/p>\n
Chill haze; a hazy veil of proteins, flavour-neutral.<\/p>\n
