So pissed.

So, when I turn the flow on, it won't go through the therminator. The valve is not clogged. I have used this therminator for about 6 months and have never had a problem (except once, when I forgot to tighten a connection and flow was interrupted bc air was getting in).

I finally got it to flow, but it's going at around 2.5 gallons an hour. I wish I was exaggerating.

I pushed star San through the chiller like I always do, and it wasn't clogged. I use the blichmann burner on the extension legs, which are made so you can gravity feed to a bucket or carboy.

I'm sure it's something to do with physics but I really don't understand, as I've been doing it this way for a while.... Connect everything, turn on the water flow, then open the valve and let the wort be chilled

WTF?
