That makes sense. I always heard it’s good to run the pump in the last 10 min of the boil to sterilize the plate chiller. If you aren’t running the pump to do this, do you worry about contamination?

Does anybody else get a whining loud pitch sound from their pump during the boil? I’ve recently started getting one. Seems to stop if I slow the flow rate way down through the pump but has on occasion persisted to where I’ve had to cut my boil short.
