I used to have a 5 gallon pot and used to just tip and pour it into a funnel that would go into my 6.5 gallon carboy. HOWEVER, I just bought a 15.5 gal kettle that has a ball valve on it. (And a fancy 4500 Watt SS heat bar).
I would like to connect silicone heat resistant tubing to this valve and have it go directly to my fermentor when I open the ball valve... Will the trub/pellet hops cause this tubing/ball valve to clog?
I don't believe that whirlpooling would help at all of I am having the beer run from the bottom of the kettle instead of syphoning from the top, right?
