Same as mine , yeah i used to get a lttle bit. Now after vorlof i put the tubbing in my hop bag to catch excess grain then clean it out before the boil . I dont think its a big deal but i do it because im OCD!!

Ya you shouldn't be getting any grain threw that. It looks like a nice set up. The only other thing I can think of would be way to fine of a grind on your grains

I never got HUGE amounts of grain just little particals.

 

[SlowDrains]

Yeah that's what I'm getting little fines and always gets stuck to start have to blow air through it backwards to get drain started

I thought it was the crush from NB first time went to lhbs this time it was better but still got it

You could be letting it out to fast and sucking your grain bed down causing a stuck sparge. If not you can try adding corn husks to break up the grain. It also depends on the grain, wheat and other grains are sticky so they will cause a stuck sparge more often

This may be it but when I first turn the valve on nothing comes out. After I got it flowing on first batch had it wide open second half open
