fitting. When using the pump for cooling in conjunction with
the whirlpool pipe, you will get a rotating movement in the wort,
hence a quicker cooling of the wort.
The whirlpool effect can also be used for whirlpool hopping, or
with a hop-stand, i.e. circulating hops that has been added after
the boiling has ended. Read more about whirlpool hopping and
hop-stand later in this manual.
The whirlpool pipe should be connected to the riser pipe
CamLock when there is about 10 minutes left of the boiling
time. Switch on the pump and open the riser pipe valve. Allow
the pump to run with boiling wort. This will sanitise the pump,
the riser pipe and the whirlpool pipe.
Warning: Please note that some air may initially come out
of the whirlpool pipe, causing some splashing of boiling wort
in the brew kettle.

Immersion chiller
Insert the cooler into the brewing kettle while boiling wort and
when there is about 10-15 minutes left of the boiling time. This
will sanitise the chiller pipe. Connect the cold water hose to the
bottom inlet and an another hose to the outlet. Do not open the
flow of cold water until after the boiling has finished, when you
want the cooling to start.
Warning: Be aware of warm water pouring out of the hose
during the first phase of cooling.
