1000 Diverter Plate Option 1000R
A great option when you primarily use pellet hops and plan on using a counterflow chiller. When the above tow criteria are met, you can employ a whirlpool technique that is used in many microbreweries. After boiling, take your mash paddle or a big spoon and stir the wort in a circular motion for at least a minute. Let the whirlpool go for up to 20 min and it will draw the trub and hops into the center where they will settle once the whirlpool slows down. The plate, a rounded piece of stainless sheet metal that is spot-welded on the bottom, keeps a majority of trub and hop material from exiting your kettle valve.
