Actually, this picture doesn't show the chiller. It shows the cone of hops and trub in the center of my (old) kettle while I'm siphoning the hot wort through my counter-flow chiller. I "whirlpool" the wort -- stir it rapidly without splashing -- until a nice whirlpool "funnel" forms in the center of the kettle. Then I let it slow to a stop on its own. The hops and trub settle out into a conical heap, and I can siphon almost-clear wort from the edge of the kettle.
The copper racking cane has a copper "scrubbie" attached to its end with a rubber band. This keeps bits of hop flowers from plugging the end of the cane.
