I just finished up my fourth batch and I've had this same issue with all my previous batches...I have an ss brew tech kettle, 15 gal. When I'm transferring to my fermenter the kettle stops draining at about 1.5 gallons. Previously I just dumped the rest in, and...of course, my beers have taken forever to clear. This time I used whirfloc and vowed not to dump in the remnants. So...I got a 4 gal batch when I should have had 5.5...Just frustrated. Any thoughts? Why isn't the valve on the very bottom of the kettle?
