Recirculation through hops via CC Chiller.

[pjbiker]

I recirculate hot wort at the end of the boil through the hops via my ccc (cooling water switched off). This allows, a)the hops to filter out some trub b) better extraction of from the final hop addition c) heat sanitisation of the ccc.

Does anyone else do this? I just use a couple of Jugs as I've not bothered rigging up a pump yet.

Comments anyone?

I don't yet, but I will be doing it when I've built my new chiller. I'll also be recirculating it while chilling to cut down on the amount of trub and break material in the FV.
