So I have the same kettle but went with Bargain Fittings’ custom length pickup/whirlpool tube to get the whirlpool outlet to exactly where I wanted it, about the 3 gallon mark, and just plumbed it through the top port. Mostly because I wanted unity amongst the three kettles, I’m a little ocd.

This would make sense that they're coming out with an electric setup considering I JUST purchased three of their kettles to convert to electric.

So I don't post a lot, but just finished a 3 vessel single tier eherms build, every time I had an issue with wiring, pid setting, or hardware, I would google a solution, and augiedoggy was ALWAYS the response that I found and would rely on.

Overall, how would you compare the Blichmann RipTide pump vs something like a Chugger Center Inlet?

Solid advice! About the best solution I can think of.

The thing with being sucked back in, is it was at 52 when I pitched and placed the tube in the blowoff, so I wouldn't imagine the temp dropped while the tube was still submerged. Hmm. I'll try moving it out of line of the fan on the next one

This may be standard for the True GDM, but I've noticed that I lose a lot more of my sanitizer in my blowoff during fermentation than I feel I should. I'm currently using a quart jug full of sanitizer, at 52 degrees, and two weeks after starting fermentation, all the liquid is gone. Is this...

I've brewed it following the exact grain bill, swapped a few hops based on what I had on hand, and the consensus was it was one of the best beers I've ever brewed, very similar to Velvet Hammer but with the change in hops a slight variation that made it my own. I loved it and will definitely...

Considering that Velvet Hammer is by far my favorite beer, I'm watching this thread closely. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. And if you're in Dallas and ever need someone to sample and compare the two, I'm all in.
