I just got the Therminator, (figured it was worth it in the long run) and I have heard mixed feelings of having it gravity fed, or pumped through. I also saw that someone pumped it back into the kettle, and was unsure if that was the standard or if you pumped it out cool into the primary. (I have a weld less ball ball valve to put on my kettle for a gravity feed, and I have cold water pumped in from an ice bath for the therminator, but dont have a wort pump now.)
Also I saw some people had issues with it getting clogged, should i screen it? I still have some extract recipes waiting in the aisles, they have a partial mash, but I suspect those wouldn't need to be strained, maybe just all grain batches. Anyone with their 2 cents on a therminator set up
