I have a 15gallon Polar Ware flat bottom kettle.
Right now I have the Hopstopper and have gravity feed the kettle into a counter flow chiller to the carboy.
As of right now I'm leaving approximately 1.6gallons behind in the kettle.
I want to make my system as efficient as possible and leaving this much wort behind is not ideal.
I don't plan on getting a pump anytime soon and I'm looking for suggestions on either improving the Hopstopper or moving away from it and trying something like a side pickup tube.
My ball valve has male threads on the inside, so I have a coupler on there so I can attach the male end of the Hopstopper.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
