I have been modifying my new 15 gallon pot to a kettle and am thinking about puting a port so i can whirlpool. I also just finished my counter flow chiller and got me thinking one what is the right order to finish up my brew day.
Should I whirlpool, let the hop cone form (15 minutes of settling) then run it through the counterflow chiller into my ale bucket? Or should I run the wort through the CFC then to the pump for the whirlpool? Or is whirl pooling best for an immersion chiller only? I read the article about the last hop addition while whirl pooling.
I don't want to gunk up my 3/8" cooper line with all of those hop sediments. Just wondering what everyone else is doing?
