I was going to add a stainless drain valve to my stainless boil kettle (8 gallon), but then learned about the whirlpool effect to help clean out the wort.
Would a drain valve totally mess the cone created from the whirlpool?
Or a better question, should I even care as its so east to just dump 100% of the wort into the fermenter :cross:
The only reason I even want a drain valve is because I dont want to pick up the entire 5 gallons and dump it into the fermenter, its much easier just to flip the valve and let it do its thing.
