So I'm about at the end of my limit on this damn boil kettle and I need any advice I can get.
I have a 3BBL kettle from Stout Tanks (electric) and I am having the hardest time getting a good cone at the bottom. I think I am losing 4-5 gallons of beer that I cant get out of the kettle before the cone starts to fracture off and get into the HX. My process was initially to run to run from the tank to the pump (1HP), to the HX, and back to the tangential inlet. 15 min whirlpool and then 15-25 min rest. This produces little to no cone. I have also tried to just get the whirlpool going by bypassing the HX and this gets a good whirlpool but I didnt notice any difference. I can't seem to figure out a good solution for this, as the beer waste is quite significant. I am also having trouble clogging my HX on my IPA and IIPA, which more than anything is a major major pain in the ass.
Does anyone have any general advice for this, or any Stout users out there that can help.
I appreciate any help I can get on this.
Cheers,
Andy
