Hey everyone -
I'm trying to improve my wort cooling process - I currently use an immersion chiller.
I'm looking at the therminator - any good?
1) Is it easy to sanitize? Can you just run boiling wort through it for a few minutes to handle sanitation?
2) Would a pump definitely be better than gravity?
3) What about the cold break? Any impact?
Also - it would seem that you need to filter out hop particles... I've seen a "hop back" mentioned. What is it? I was thinking about using a bazooka tube to handle most of the filtering. Would that work?
Thanks,
Andy
