So i just started working on 6bbl batches in our system and im not sure our pump is up to snuff. When im recircing for wp/cooling i seem to not be getting a very good flow from the onset. i thought i was having a plugging issue with my HX but that doesnt seem to be the case. When i hook up my pump to the fermenter to transfer it flow really well into the fermenter. Im wondering if the pump is just not able to push against the head pressure created by the volume. It is flowing but its not enough to mix the wort very well when im cooling as im getting cool on the bottom of the boil kettle and really hot in the middle.
Its a 3/4 hp from CPE i figured it should be big enough to move this volume but it doesnt seem to be the case or am i having another issue somewhere else?
