After getting the first batch into the primary I got to thinking (dangerous). So I acquired a keg and had a friend plasma the top and weld on stainless fittings. Now searching these forums have been very educational except I have been left a little confused about keggles and extract brewing. Here goes:
How to get the wort through the spigot and cooled for pitching...I know that there are many suggestions and tools like hops bags and hop screens and such but I keep reading that hops bags are not good with pellet hops and screens dont work with cold break if I use an IC. Can I not use an immersion chiller and a screen if I use a hops bag? Or is the cold break too much and I will have to use a counter flow?
I wanted to go with the keggle as I foresee all grain brewing in my future and a pot that large and in SS would caust a fortune with the custom fittings attached.
If I have posted this in the wrong area please advise thanks!
