So I have been thinking lately about changing how I clarify my wort before going into the fermenter. I am wondering if anyone does this, or have thoughts? I'm thinking this could reduce my loss in the boil kettle?
Current Setup
Use a paint strainer bag in BK for Hop additions
My pickup tube in my kettle is on the side so I can whirlpool
I remove my hop bag at the end of boil
Whirlpool and then leave the break material and about a gallon of wort in the bottom of the kettle
Proposed Idea
Use a paint strainer bag in BK for Hop additions
Change my pickup tube to be in the bottom/middle of my BK
Run my pump output to go into the hop strainer
After the boil recirculate the wort through the strainer to remove all break material
run off into the fermenter through my plate chiller
