How do you separate the hot break from the wort in gravity tier systems?
I see two options:
1. Immediately whirlpool after flameout(hot side aeration?), wait a little then drain to chiller which goes to fermenter.
or
2. Or drain/cool it all and whirlpool afterwords before it goes into the fermenter.
The latter seems like a better choice but would require an additional tier between the kettle & fermenter. I plan on welding up something this holiday season and can't decide between a single tier w/ pump or a gravity tier. I like the simplicity and small footprint of a gravity system.
