I'm looking to add a whirlpool port for my kettle and I'm kind of confused on how to do it. Do I just use a bulkhead and dip tube as the whirlpool port? I'm also kind of freaked out about drilling through my new Blichmann Boiler maker to add it. Any advice?
 
If you use an immersion chiller, have you considered adding a whirlpool arm to your immersion chiller? That way, you do not have to drill your kettle.
 
Check out bargain fittings. Just ordered this setup.

I'm actually switching over to a plate chiller because I've got a new kettle now. So I'm hoping to drill into the kettle so I can keep the lid closed as I whirlpool.
