I built an electric brew kettle and use a CF chiller. I set the kettle up with a braided SS tube wraped around the kettle to keep the hops out of my pump. I brewed my first batch and it worked awesome until it got to the bottom of the kettle and there was a lot of wort left behind. Anybody have suggestions?
 
Not much information to go by, but my first thought would be to tilt the kettle so it will drain more completely. Not the most elegant solution, but it should work. What was the volume of the wort left behind? IOW, is it worth worrying about and could you simply increase the grain bill a bit to compensate for the loss.
