Hello fellow brewers and readers - I have just set up my pump system and whirl pool arm w/ my amazing co-brewer and girlfriend - and it rocks.
However - she posed a great question to me that I was incapable of answering:
How do you get the excess wort out of your pump and into your fermenter when you're done recirculating/whirl pooling?
My best guess was to take the outlet hose off of the whirlpool arm, spray it (w/ sanitizer), run it into your fermenter, and plug the pump in. We are slightly concerned that this will in effect be, "dry-running" the pump which is supposed to be pretty freakin bad for it. Does anyone have any insights that they would like to share? We are brewing a series of beers; one a day for three days starting tomorrow so the info would be greatly appreciated.
