Hello everyone,
I'm semi new here and have mainly lurked but I recently upgraded my brewing equipment and yesterday was the first time I was able to brew on it! I had a bit of a problem though. My new plate chiller worked great when I tested it with boiling water but when I ran my first batch of wort through it, it clogged about half way through. I think the ball valve on my kettle also clogged from hops?!
I have limited space to brew being as I live in an apartment currently but here is my setup!
The new plate chiller that clogged on me!
So I have a couple of question from you experts on here. Firstly what do I need so that my plate chiller and ball valve stay free of any debris and never ever clog again. Second, what do I need to do to brew 10 gallon batches? I have not made the step to all grain yet as space is my worry. Can I extract brew 10gallon batches? Worries or thoughts? Thanks everyone
