My immersion chiller fits right inside my stock pot. I make my starter there, chill and then transfer to a 3 gallon corny and pitch. Once my starter is ready, I decant in place using CO2 with a special longer bent dip tube (I put a couple o-rings and pinch it with my fingers at the post to make a seal, so I can move the dip tube up and down...) till I see the color change lighter, then I cap it off. After that point, everything is closed system. I leave some liquid in there so I can shake er up, then push the starter into the fermenter w/ CO2. The corny then serves as my top cropping yeast harvester, and after that's done, the blow-off tube goes to the bottom dump to bottom crop (after a StarSan spray of all things). I put the spunding valve on the gas out of the fermenter at that point to do pressurized ferments (or not, it goes down to .5 PSI).
Has worked fantastic so far.
