Sweet thanks guys, i'l try again.

Hi guys I checked the FAQs and did a search here but I cant find and answer. Is it important that I cool my extract wort down after the boil because otherwise splashing a hot wort would cause undesirable or stale flavours? I read an artical that said splashing hot wort would cause oxidation...
