Could there be an air leak in your line to the pump that is upsetting it's draw? This is all outside my experience, but that's what I'd check, an air bubble...
The tubing does curve downwards. Would I be better off with a 90 degree cpvc joint at some point? ... upsetting it's draw? ... air bubble gathering somewhere...
I still would explore air leak issue. also, If the wort flows too fast it will develop cavitation and make a vacuum which is even worse than a big bubble. ...
My bet would be that the cold break and hops are plugging the bazooka screen. The air bubble would be air sucked out of solution or leaked in at a hose fitting...
I hadn't thought of the trub plugging the screen as a problem. With the copper elbows, I should be able to get the screen more to the perimeter. I could also...
Try it with just plain water - if you have the same problem it is likely cavitation, possibly caused by the dropping head pressure as the kettle empties out....
Also, make sure you throttle the output of the pump and not the input. Otherwise, you will just make matters worse! I would use very hot water too, almost...

Hello fellow brewers, I've been brewing for a while now and I'm trying to figure out what advantage there is, at least for a small home-brewer, to having a ...
My opinion.. they don't make economic sense on a five gallon batch scale.. I mean, you can buy a lot of 6 gallon carboys for what a cylindroconical (CC)...
I actually do have a thought about this. I haven't tried this, obviously, but I do believe that your single stove burner should be hot enough. The factor...
Boyles law says steam cannot exceed 212 d F unless it is under pressure. That's how pressure cookers cook faster and why they sterilize everything after 15...

You're absolutely correct. Now let me ask a couple questions. What would the temperature of the steam be at 10 to 15 psi? This should be the pressure of the...
