I just have a small funnel and I lose some liquid due to the fact that my wort cooking pot is a very large one and thus has a wide brim, resulting in a wide stream of liquid coming out of it. Couple this with the fact that the wort pot is heavy, usually hot to handle (I pour early as my cooling methods seem too slow, I believe that pouring still-hot but relatively sterile wort into a sterilized container is superior to waiting too long and possibly spoiling my previously sterile wort) and that my funnel’s too small for me to keep a continuous stream of liquid into it easily at the weight/hotness of the wort container because the flow rate out of the funnel is very slow.
I’m really not too picky about losing some wort, but my current procedure is very awkward and definitely a workout, I was wondering if you guys siphon or something else, and if so under what conditions, do you actually cool down the wort?
And for those concerned, I do wait for the wort to cool in the primary before adding yeast
