I received my Steelhead Pump, from Northern Brewer, last week and tried it over the weekend, but I have to say... I'm not fully sure I understand how this thing is supposed to work. Based on videos and forums I've read, I was under the impression I could use this to move my wort from one place to the next, completely, but I'm wrong. Once the wort is empty from the kettle and gets to the pump, it stops. I then still have wort sitting in the hose waiting to be passed through my plate chiller and into my bucket. Am I doing something wrong? And yes, I do have the pump below my kettle.
My setup:
- Hose going from kettle to pump
- Hose going from pump to plate chiller
- Hose going from plate chiller to bucket
