comment Why would aeration cause diacetyl
Sensor: Thanks, will there always be residual alpha acetolactate in a finished beer? (i.e. even with super healthy yeast)

comment How to use Tart Cherries
@sgwill thanks for the great info, in your opinion should I be treating these cherry beers just like any other fruit? The seem to often appear in sours krieks etc, are there any special considerations for those styles?

comment What is a whirlpool chiller?
You are comparing cooling a small amount of wort and recircing to the hot kettle, to whirlpooling the entire kettle about a chiller coil simultaneousky. In terms of the thermodynamics those are not equivalent. Jamil makes this very point.

comment Measuring Dissolved C02
I understand your answer in theory, but what sort of pressure device are you recommending? Is there a pressure device I can attach to my carboy?

comment What is a whirlpool chiller?
You can whirlpool without an immersion chiler, but you cannot utilize a whirlpool chiller without an immersion chiller. The point of circulating wort is to create more contact between the wort and the immersion chiller. The whole point of a whirlpool chiller is to chill ALL of the wort simultaneously below DMS/hop utilization levels. As you note in your post, a plate/cf chiller can only chill the wort currently in the chiller. I will agree that you will end up chilling faster than normal by recirculating wort into kettle, but you are incorrect to include these techniques as whirlpool chilling.
