For those of you with counterflow chillers. Do you send your wort through the chiller and then back to the kettle? Or do you send your wort through the chiller and then directly to the fermenter?
The reason I ask is; The first time I used this counterflow chiller, it just took way too long using the recirculation method. So the second time, I went straight to the fermenter which gave me 80 degree wort in about 10 minutes! The problem though is that it seems that my wort was a LOT more cloudy going straight into the fermenter, so I'm worried that I won't be able to fully clear it.
Anyone care to share their process and experience on which method they use?
