I had a good response on a previous post and I have ordered a chugger pump with the center inlet.
Next question - My drain valve is 3 1/2 inches from the outside bottom of my keggle (boil kettle). How many inches above the drain will I place the pump outlet for the most effective whirpool? I occasionally brew 5 gallon batches so I know to place the inlet below the lowest point of the boil but is there an optimum height above the outlet? Can the whirlpool be controlled by the angle of the side pick up on the inlet?
Any other hints or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
