I just put a stainless false bottom in my MLT. I leak tested it last night - no leaks, but I have an issue. When I drain all the liquid from the cooler there is an inch or two left in the bottom (the level of the drain hole in cooler). What I expected to happen was that the false bottom would "siphon" almost all of the liquid out from the pick-up tube leaving very little residual water. I'm a little worried that I have a loose fitting or leak somewhere that's preventing the siphoning action - basically rendering the false bottom useless and reducing my efficiency.
Is this a normal occurrence with false bottoms? I'm used to using SS braid where some residual water left in the tun is normal.
Thanks in advance.
