I am just beginning to source the parts to begin my new e-herms build. I am considering mounting a stainless 50' chiller coil in the BK. My only concern is cleaning the kettle. I was planning to use a CIP ball (mounted through a lid) to spray it down with PBW after a brew. My concern is that the CIP ball might get clogged if I recirculate. Maybe someone has suggestions for how to filter the muck out while recirculating. I know that many would suggest using a plate or counter-flow chiller but I have other concerns about using them. I would very much like to hear from others who may have already tried this and what their experience was.
Thanks for your input!
