    Whirlpool port...

    How close to the top of a kettle can a 3/4" hole be made (with knockout punch) without compromising the integrity of the kettle? This is a 1bbl kettle with nearly a 1/4" rolled top edge. Thanks.

    Various whirlpool/dry hopping/keg hopping questions

    First Time Whirlpooling with Pump

    I tried whirlpooling with a Riptide and a Spin Cycle arm during my brew a few days ago, but was pretty underwhelmed by the results. I didn't have any sort of trub cone at the bottom of the kettle - all the cold break seemed to be spread out on the bottom of the kettle like it normally is. I had...

    Yeast made a think mat out of trub

    I'm in the process of fermenting an AG batch and was a little impatient with my attempts at seperating the trub before siphoning to my primary... I chilled the wort with my newly made IC down to about 60 degF (just under 5 minutes) and then got a good whirlpool going with a spoon. I haven't...
