Is it a full batch boil? If it is only a few litres then have some cold water on hand to add to the FV and drop the temp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the volume & pot are suitably sized, place it in a sink & surround with cold water for 20 minutes or so, then strain into your fermenter. Best of luck with the brew, Lusty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll cool it of fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
