Title says it all. I need to chill my beer stat. How can I quickly get it unstuck?

Reverse flow?

2nd that. Swap the connections and flow it back for a min.

I ran to Menards and go stuff to hook up the water to my camlocks and back-flushed it with water pressure. That worked. Now I'm re-heating the wort to sanitize the cfc and then I'll cool. Thanks for the replies. It would have been quicker to do as you guys suggested, but I'm not sure my 809 would have had the umph to unclog it. Also not sure if my hoses would all reach that way.

Glad it worked out, how much trub/sediment were you sucking through there to jam that bad boy?

Pellet hops and some rice hulls got loose. I need to bag the hops I guess. Just switching pump direction helped when it clogged as I was cleaning up.
