Hello,
I am trying to figure out the best way to set up my keg as a boil kettle.
Currently I am using the keggle with a bazooka tube, a Chugger pump, a Duda Diesel 30 plate chiller, and I use mostly pellet hops.
My last batch left over a gallon of beer in keggle after the bazooka screen plugged up, even with the pellet hops in hop socks. I would like to put a different pickup and false bottom, or maybe even a whirlpool.
What is the best method with my setup.
With the whirlpool setup I am worried the the pellets would more easily clog up my plate chiller. I don't know if there is anything I could put inline between the keggle and plate chiller to filter out some hops. Maybe a Hop Back or something?
My goals are to get more beer out of the keggle when transferring to the fermenter, reduce pellets in the wort, and not clog the plate chiller.
Thank you for the help.
