ASK WHEEBZ -
When I bought the whirlpool arm I'm using my (10 gal) boil kettle going forward, it was one I'd planned to use in an single-vessel BIAB config in a 20 gal kettle that's obviously taller ...
I have a 10" whirlpool arm, which was going to place it nicely in terms of height in the 20 gal, but it means it's all the way down low in the 10 gal boil kettle, lower than the recommended 3" spacing off the bottom (which I think is probably based on 5-10 gal batches, and I'm doing 3-6 gal batches in this kettle) ...

I thought about it in advance, and then realized that it didn't need to stop me from doing the plumbing, but that I might have to buy a standard one (7" arm) in replacement so that it's 3" off the bottom ...
Do you think it'll probably work anyways, or should I just order the shorter one straight away? ...
I know I'll find out when I brew, and the only consequence is extra trub in the plate-chiller and fermenter, but I'm curious what you think will happen ... if the trub cone will be tighter to the center or not, since it's a pretty squat pot (wider than tall etc) ...
Thanks!
