Hi, I am in the process(very long) of building a single tier, 3 vessel, 3 pump setup, hard piped in stainless, using Tri-clamps. I plan on using a Duda Diesal b3-36a 20 plate chiller(one of the only with a tri clamp option). I do have a couple of questions.
1) I have read hundreds of posts about plate chillers in general.....seems many circulate boiling wort for about 10 minutes to sanitize. This would seem to introduce true and hops to the chiller. My plan is to whirlpool after the boil (have BrewersHardware boil kettle with the tangential inlet) before sending it to the chiller. As far as sanitation, am thinking a dunk in star San before brewing session.......is this sufficient?
2) anyone with this model chiller, or any chiller in general.....can you bring the temp down to temp in a single pass, or do you need to recirculate back to the kettle and run it through again?
Trying to decide on plumbing and valve arrangement at this stage!
Thanks in advance for any help!
