So,
I've been TRYING to whirlpool my latest batches to try to get some of the hops and break material out..
I've read the Whirlpooling Wiki and all the topics I could on the subject...
and I still can't get a good cone to form.
After I get done with IC chiller, pull it out and start a vigorous whirlpool (for a minute or so) and after 20 to 30 minutes, I still don't get a good cone, but all I get is settled out break/hops on the bottom of the kettle.
Is my weldless fitting interrupting the whirlpool - ie, is it slowing it down so that I don't get a good one going?
I don't feel like using a hop back, but maybe I'll be forced to do that...
My kettle is short and squatty, it can hold 40 quarts.. maybe that has something to do with it..
Any ideas?
