So I've got a recipe book that recommends emulating a whirlpool using the following method:
"When the wort has cooled, move the kettle to a counter and stir the wort briskly (with a cleaned and sanitized brew paddle) in one direction for about 5 minutes. After stirring, cover and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes ass the hops and trub form a cone. Using a sanitized racking cane and siphon, rack as much wort as possible into the sanitized primary fermenter. Using a sanitized funnel and straining screen, strain the rest of the wort into the fermenter."
What do ya'll think of this process? I usually just dump everything into the carboy and allow it to ferment and settle before racking into secondary. The book's process seems like it creates too many opportunities for contamination but hey... I could be wrong!
