Excess Trub

The new kettle I acquired had a very slow tap, with hindsight I should have waited and left the dregs in the bottom.
Emptying the kettle via the tap will also require a bit of getting used to.
It can be very slow because it gets blocked with trub/hop debris.
Then you can try various means to get round it depending on your kit, such as:
Whirlpool at the end of the boil so the trub settles out mostly in the centre of the kettle.
Using a bazooka filter on the inside of the tap.
Leaving the false bottom in for the boil (I found this effective when I loose leaf hops)
