Is this a must to only reduce brew after cooling into fridge?

[dusttrust]

Fifty grams of P. viridis leaves can be used instead of mimosa. If going this route, the completed washes should be put in a container or pot in the fridge until the next day instead of being reduced immediately.

Is this actually necessary? If so, why?

Could you please link to where you quoted that from?

no it is not necessary.

the only reason i could see that helping is for filtering/fining, but you would need to do that with mimosa at least as much as viridis.

i think many can attest to the ability to brew chacruna without this step and still have an incredibly potent brew.
