I am moving up to 20 gallon (and hopefully larger) batch sizes and want to be able to cool down the wort quickly to pitching temperature at the end of the boil. I also whirlpool and have been using a Therminator with 10 Gallon batches very successfully. I am thinking about hooking up the flow of wort in series through a second Therminator and paralleling the ground water (Garden hose) hookup. I am also going to add a valve for doing an ice water recirc after I drop to about 100 degrees to keep things moving along. I am currently using a March 815 pump for whirl pooling and pumping through the plate chiller(s) and am curious if it even has enough oomph to get a good whirlpool going on a 20 gallon batch. Has anyone hooked up more than one plate chiller and had good or bad results? Any thoughts on what I'm planning or am I totally nuts : )
