Is there any reason why I can't keep my chiller in my BK the whole boil? The hole in my keggle is very tight and my immersion chiller doesn't fit in very easy. I should also mention that a recirculation armis soldered on to my chiller. And no I don't have a grinder to make the hole wider.

Whats the best way to go from my keggles to my march pump. I have hose barsbs on the end of my ball vales now but I am thinking quick disconnects would be better. I am also trying to figure out how to attch my hose to my recirculation arm. What fitting do you guys use?
