Following such a close call, I stirred often and obsessively tweaked the burner dials until it was time to remove the wort from the burner and transfer it to the fermenter. In order to do so, we had to first cool the wort by creating a bath of ice water for the brewing pot to sit in. Following the transfer, our instructions said to gently rock the fermenter so as to put oxygen back into the wort.
