So, long story short. I put my 50' stainless chiller (that I already had) in my glycol cooler (just built). I attached quick dissconnects to the chiller arms so that I could put the hot wort through the immersion chiller into my conical.

Here is the problem. I cannot get the pump to pump the hot wort through the chiller. Can anyone think of why?

I have primed it, disconnected and reconnected every hose.

What the heck is going on? Counter pressure?
Can someone please help.

Thanks guys!
 
Water in the chiller before you dropped it in the glycol froze? That blocks the flow in the chiller ? What temp is the glycol ?

Good call. Glycol is below freezing. Wonder if something is frozen in there.
