So the inability to whirlpool through my chiller has been bugging me for a couple reasons.
- I won't be able to drop temp quickly to get to whirlpool temp (170 degrees or so)
- I won't be able to chill back into my boil kettle to drop cold break in my kettle
- I wont be able to sanitize my chiller by circulating boiling wort through the chiller
The last one was probably my larger concern. Having come this far in this build I decided I didn't want to make these compromises. I have made some changes to be able to solve these problems. Essentially this involves a few more three way valves
Now I can run
- From the boil kettle through the chiller back to the boil.
- From the boil kettle bypass the chiller back to the boil.
- From the boil kettle through the chiller to the fermenter
Here are the new drawings as well as a picture of the new valves in place.
