Hey guys I need some help improving my boil kettle/chilling and draining methods. I had initially planned on boiling using a false bottom in a Blichmann Boiler Maker using whole hops to filter the wort on it's way to a plate chiller to the fermenter.The only problem with that is apparently using a Blichmann false bottom during the boil can cause worth scorching. So my next plan is to not use the false bottom at all and simply use hop bags for my hops and send the wort through the dip tube into the hop rocket, then into a plate chiller and then into my fermenter. Will this work and are hop bags even necessary for whole leaf hops? Thanks a lot and I hope this question makes sense.
