I have read some conflicting information about whirlpooling. Today, I want to give it a try for the first time, mainly because the brew I am making has tons of hop additions.
I plan to stir between my immersion chiller while cooling, mainly to move the water across the chiller and get the wort temp down quicker. I realize this could be whirlpooling, but the sediment really wont be able to get to the center due to the chiller being in the kettle.
Is it fair practice to whirlpool after I cool, once the chiller is removed? I have read both yes and no on this...I do not want to damage my wort at this point..
Id appreciate any input from the veterans here. Thanks again for the help
