I have a small 3-Barrel system and am wondering if it is a good idea to transfer hot wort (190 degree) from the boil kettle into a jacketed FV. From there I would cool it down through a heat exchanger to fermentation temperature. An advantage would be that it would add another level of protection against any unwanted bacteria. But I'm concerned that jacketed FVs are not engineered to withstand high temps such as this. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this.
