The faster you chill the better the beer on lots of different fronts.

Btw it costs fa waterwise to chill your wort.
Start harvesting rainwater and buy a garden submersible pump use that!

I checked the HBC extract kits which you can find here: https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/extract-beer-kits-c-164.html

Indeed these seem to include a full Whilfloc tablet which is why I thought the dose was a full tablet.  I tend to use > 500g of speciality malt for my own recipes and perhaps this greater amount of protein in the water (beyond that of the residuals in the DME) account for the stronger reaction to my brews vs. the kits. 

I'm going to write Shane and see what he says about it.
All my brews news and recipes in the lounge.
