I built a counterflow chiller several months back, and after doing some random poking around on the interwebs, I noticed some other people are chilling their wort differently than I am. I just drain the hot wort through the CFC and into my fermentation container. But I noticed some people recirculate their hot wort through the CFC and back into the kettle and basically cool the whole batch together. In my head, that would take more time, but is it beneficial in anyway? Maybe the cold break proteins will precipitate out more?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
