Hello all, I have been thinking about how I transfer the wort after it is cooled into my fermenter. I have a keggle which is boiled outside of course, extract batches only so far, I cool the wort with an immersion chiller and also put the whole keg in an ice bath to cool fast ( I have a huge stainless pot that fits the keggle into it). OK so after it is cooled I put the keg on cinder blocks, take a kitchen strainer and put it over the fermenter, and open the valve on the keggle to let the wort out of the keggle and into the fermenter.
I see a lot of people talking about whirlpooling and racking to the fermenter, but it seems my method is much quicker and I have had nothing but clear beer in the last 4 batches. Just wondering since it ain't broke don't fix it, or should I try it the "right" way?
