Hi Guys..
I'm just about finished putting together my All-Grain rig. The only part of the process still up for grabs is between the boil kettle and the fermenter.
Wort Chiller: I have pretty much decided to buy the Brazed Plate Chiller 20 Plate, Suits 45 litre batches [http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/product_in...roducts_id=8662]. It seems to be a very good chiller and uses water wisely. Providing I follow the cleaning instructions carefully there shouldn't be a problem.
Q. Cleaning instructions stipulate that the Plate Chiller must be stored dry, does this mean I could clean it and then put it in the kitchen oven at +100'c to dry it out and effectively sterilize it??
Boil Filtering: I have seen the Filter housing [http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/product_in...roducts_id=7433] & 1 micron absolute washable pleated filter [http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/product_in...roducts_id=7432] used for keg-2-keg CO2 filtering. Also noted here Craftbrew.
Q. Can I place the Filter inline with the Plate Chiller to pre-filter the hops and boil debris; thus reducing the possible impact of infection within the plate chiller?? Wort would flow out of boil kettle 100'c --> Pump --> Filter housing --> plate chiller --> fermenter.
Assistance it greatly appreciated.
