So I want to build a CFC to make the cooling process run itself, but I'm a bit foggy on the details.
As far as I can tell, my options are:
1) drain the hot wort through the CFC and directly into the fermenter, possibly through a strainer to catch some of the break/hops material
2) pump the cooled wort back into the BK to get a whirlpool going, and drain the BK once cooled to pitching temps and rested to let the whirlpool work its magic on the chunks.
Is that about it? Any better options?
