I see this configuration in some german brewhouses where there are two vessels, one steam jacketed mash/boil kettle with an agitator and baffles and one lauter tun with rakes. My question is whether it is possible or even effective to whirlpool in the kettle. While I think you could feasibly spin the wort using the agitator, the baffles make it as turbulent as possible, which I suspect would disrupt the trub. Not to mention the turbulence from stopping the agitator. Does anyone run a brewhouse like this or know how folks operate them without a separate WP vessel?
Thank you.
Thank you.
