Spike V3 Kettle whirlpool?

[eric19312]

Anybody with a Spike V3 kettle advise on what you are using to whirlpool? How is it working out for you? I'm looking at the 20 gallon kettle and trying to figure out right attachments.

I'm guessing the side pickup in bottom hole and same or the short pickup in the top hole with the pickups pointing in opposite directions. But only video I could find online had pointing in same direction.

Yeah, that was weird to me to, Eric - same direction seems odd. But it seemed to be working (???). I can contact them, if you'd like - they've always been good about getting back to me. Or you could, whatever. But it's a good question. Assembled mine just a few days ago, as a matter of fact.

Kyle at Spike got me answered. They do set them up facing same direction I will have to give it a try both ways I guess.

What the heck are you doing in that kettle anyway? I really don't understand all the ports.

nevermind I got it.
Why did you go with the shorty pickup tube instead of the side pickup?

IT's what I have, 2 sides tubes facing left. I still don't see how it works but I'm going to try it.

Guess I got carried away.

Dayum, @AF1HomeBrew. You've practically got more money in fittings there than in the kettle! I counted 13 clamps alone.
