Will Pellet hops be an issue, or can I run boil straight through my plate chiller without somehow removing the hops from the wort first?
I'm in this same boat and trying to avoid clogging the chiller. I'm considering two things:
- recirculating the hot wort back into the kettle until it runs reasonably clear. My dip tube runs straight down the center of the kettle underneath a false bottom.
- adding an additional, fine layer of stainless wire mesh on top of the existing false bottom.
