Hello all,
First post and all that, so please be gentle with me.
I have decided to take the plunge and invest in a stove top kit. The Massive Brewery website seems to have now sold out of their kit, but I have since come across this.

The information I've read so far seems to suggest that it is best to get the temperature of the wort down quickly before pitching the yeast to prevent infections etc. The system on the link above leaves the wort to cool for 12 hours overnight. Do you think it would better to buy a kit that includes a chiller or is the above method feasible (bearing in in I will be a total beginner)? The other thing is that I have an unusual kitchen sink tap; I would have to run a hose through my kitchen window from the garden to attach it to a chiller!
I have also found instructions on the brewing on the above kit's website:-
