1 Wooden barrel - The higher volume of the barrels shape creates less surface area than a metal coil exposing less heat to the outside, thus keeping the liquid warmer. Wood also does not transfer heat as quickly as metal, so that helps too!
2 Stir the potion - Stirring the potion causes more exposure to the air, thus cooling the potion faster. Same principle as the previous question, just reverse!
3 The brightest point - Contrary to most conceptions, the brightest point of any flame is the hottest point. For an example of this, you need only to look up at the sun. The hotter a flame is, the brighter it will glow. Now, you probably still don't believe me because you're thinking about a welding torch or jet flame being blue and much hotter than a candle flame, right? Well, yes they are, and their brightness shows it! Once a jet flame comes into contact with something burnable, you will see the brightness to match its heat. Just don't burn your house down!
