plate chiller

[LKHA]

I received a plate chiller for a Christmas gift and am reading the directions and it says to use a screen to prevent plugging the chiller. I use a keggle and pump but what do i need a braid on the discharge to keep from plugging

This works good and is cheap to make...

it also talks about the hot break that would be on the out side of the bag and i use pellets for hops

What brand did you get? I have used a chore boy on my dip tube as a stained, others have had success with just a whirlpool. I have never had an issue with hot break clogging my therminator, but the chore boys does clog and slow things up sometimes.

I built a hop filter bag as well. Works great with my Therminator. Never had any problems clogging it. I back flush it with hot water after each brew....60+ brews
