  Oops! Sorry about 4. Thanks for the detailed response. Fur completeness: 4. Is tangential inlet
  for a whirlpool worthwhile, or just more cleanup? I don't find that it adds anything to
  clean-up. The wh...

  Thanks for the info. If I go that route, it will be with a upright freezer using my Kickstarter
  Fermostat (LINK) temperature controller once it arrives. That also means buying an upright

  The back-ordered fittings finally arrived. Couldn't resist setting up the valves and hose barbs
  on the Chugger pump. I'm thinking I might put the pumps on pullout trays. This should provide
  easy acces...

  One thing you should be careful of for sacc. rests is your "over driven" temperature of the
  HERMS tank. If you want to hit 155°F mash temp and put your HERMS to 165°F, depending on your

  Wrox, So, the Kern River Citra clone may be the best beer I have brewed. It has been in the keg
