Was seeing some articles about the benefits of Whirpooling after the boil and during cool down.
I currently use a 50' coil of 1/2"od tubing as my chiller. I have a 2nd coil in ice water that I circulate thru the immersion coil.
Was thinking of setting my pump up and circulate the Wort around the coil in a whirpool as I cool down.
When I get to my desired pitch temperature I would turn off the cold water to the chiller and leave the Whirpool pump on for an additional 20 minutes.
Then let it sit for 20-30 minutes before I transfer to Primary Fermenter.
Was planning on leaving the coil immersed the whole time.
Any thoughts?
