Ok guys,
What’s your whirlpool setups look like and how effective are they?
I’m looking to whirlpool in my keggle before running through CFC to FV. I’ve got got 2 mkii pumps that can be used though I don’t think using more than 1 will add any Benidorm. The keggle also has 1 2200w heating element and side pickup tube. No other holes drilled yet.
Thanks for the advice
 
10mm Stainless Rod T Bar. In a hand drill. Its 620mm long with a 125mm T. Kind find the pics of it in use right now but easy enough to imagine. Simple and it works a treat even with an immersion chiller.
 
I had a lot of issues getting a whirlpool to work as expected in a keg.
I think it has something to do with the concave base.
I've since changed to a thin skinned 55L SS pot with a flat bottom.
Heaps better.

Incidentally, the guy that bought the old keg was going to use it as a hungie.
Drop it into a fire pit to roast meat inside. I would never have thought of it.
Kiwi of course.

But I made and used this for whirlpool in that keg.
