So my current set up I have is a Keggle with an immersion chiller. When it comes time I send the wort through a pump and back into the kettle creating a whirlpool.
I was just bought a HopRocket for my birthday. If I place it after my pump and right before the wort enters back in for my whirlpool will this be giving me the full effect of a hopback?
What i am reading is after passing the wort through the hop back you want to immediately chill it which I won't be able to do.
I was planning on running the wort through the hopback for 5 minutes after flameout and then starting the water through the chiller.
Am I going to lose big hop flavor and aroma with this technique? I just drilled the hole in my keggle for the whirlpool, hoping it isn't for nothing and I have to purchase a CFC or plate chiller...
