I have been very happy with my eBIAB setup to date. I have decided to upgrade my system with a pump to recirculate during the mash and whirlpool, and have a few logistical questions that I cannot seem to find the answer to.
1. When you are done with the mash, do you leave the wort in the lines during the boil? I am hesitant to do this, as I do not want a portion of the wort to not boil.
2. If you empty the lines and pump of wort prior to the boil, how do you sanitize them after they have been hooked back up for doing the whirlpool?
3. Once you have finished chilling, how do you fill up your fermenter? Do you use the pump? Or do you disconnect the pump system from the kettle valve, and hook up a separate tube to the kettle valve directly?
4. I would like to be able to switch from a recirculating"diptube" to a whirlpool "diptube" from the fitting going into the top of the kettle. Am I using the correct terminology? Am I overthinking this? Any suggestions?
I will be using quick disconnects for everything and 1/2" ID high-temperature silicone tubing. If anyone has any other recommendations or common pitfalls to look out for, that would be helpful! Thanks!
