I think we figured it out.....after getting rid of the spent grain, we saw that the false bottom doesn't sit flat in the kettle. It has a slight warp to it. Think that's the problem?

We have the pump before the chiller. We had the pump primed, the air lock seemed to be in the chiller.

We r using a pump

So......my bro just picked up a new plate chiller and we tried it tonight....worst brew night ever. After we would run sanatizer through it.....we'd hook up the wort and immediately get an air lock. After taking everything apart, sucking sanatizer and wort into my mouth, and a mildly boiled...
