Reconfigured chiller, hop-back and aeration set-up

I was having fun with the new camera and took a few brewery glamour shots. I also did a reconfiguration on my chiller set-up.

The chiller is dual zoned (water then glycol), runs into a hop-back/filter, and finally through an inline aeration set-up with an aeration stone.

Man, that looks like some sorta piston, and some oxygen to help you when lugging all your equipment around.

I'd really need this here in NC now. The tap water has reached 70F. When I was brewing the "Secret Child Of The Night" last night, I had to pitch at 80F. I just couldn't get it lower with the immersion chiller and was way to tired to set-up a post chiller.

Brewpastor, I was just curious because I am setting up a new chiller w/ an O2 injector and hop back. I thought you wanted your hop back pre-chilling for end of kettle hops? Just a curious question before I hook mine up. If it doesn't matter, I would prefer the hop back as a cold break filter like you have it set up. I just thought you wanted that hot wort to scrub the aromas from the hops so I am having to ask. I mean I know dry hopping works cold, but that is with alcohol to scrub the hops. You r answer would be greatly appreciated.
