So I've done 4 all grain brews so far, and was originally using a hop stopper that I didn't have much success with. I want to whirl pool in the boil kettle with my march pump, however, my hop stopper was getting clogged up with debris while recirculating.

I've since decided to ditch the hop stopper and try a simple side pickup while whirl pooling. Anyone have any input on my setup/approach?

I thnk it will work, but I would personally run it all the way into the "corner" where the wall and bottom meat. Wayne1 runs a pick-up tube just like this. You should search him up and check out his rig. He also whirlpools the same way, plus he has some good ideas.
