Hello guys,
I am adding a whirlpool to my boiling kettle.
I got this 2 kits with 2 valves.
I will make the first hole at 1/3 of the kettle height starting from the bottom and direct the output at about 45 degrees up creating the circulation clockwise. I did some reading and came to conclusion that that was the best way to do it.... did i do my research well?
The output ( from the kettle to the pomp ) i will probably make a hole as low as my valve allow me and i am wondering that the flow would be better with the 90 degrees right?
If it's better with the 90 degrees is it best if i put the Stainless Steel Fitting - 1/2" Male NPT X 1/2" OD Barb and cut a piece of pipe to minimize my dead zone of the kettle to about 1 inch or maybe 1/2 inch from the bottom since the whirlpool will converge most of the hop and solids in the middle of the kettle.
I have an immersion chiller.
Hopefully i gave you enough details
