Whirlpooling to clarify

[promontory]

I have a converted keg for my boil pot, with a bent pipe pulling wort off the side of the bottom. I want to whirlpool and tried with a spoon and elbow grease. Felt like it didn't really help and that all the hops didn't settle in tye middle. Thinking about buying a mortar paddle to attach to my drill. Run that for 3-4 min and the let it settle... Thoughts?

How long did you wait to let it settle out?

Like 5 min. I bought the angled pip from you guys. It worked great.

Generally you want to wait a good 20-30 minutes to let your beer settle after whirlpooling.

So the spoon method is fine? Any reason not to do the paddle and drill?

Aside from having another thing to clean...nope, none that I can see.

Do this and you will get a nice trub cone in the bottom of your boil pot.
