Cooling ASAP is basically what I do, but rather than put the jerry in my beer fridge I let it cool for a few hours first. The reason I do this is that I don't want to 'stress' the fridge. However I'm no fridge mechanic so maybe someone with fridge mech. experience might like to comment.
- Is putting a jerry of near boiling liquid in the fridge likely to overwork the fridge in some way?
- Or doesn't the fridge give a stuff ?
