During the boil I extend my drain past my normal expected trub level. My elbow can be turned lower as the wort level drops so I can get almost all the wort and little break. When it settles.

KernelCrush said:Its a ss elbow that screws into the kettle ball valve fitting, topped with union & a coupler. I tighten that till its just barely finger tight. It stands straight up at that point. as the wort level drops I turn the whole assembly sideways by pushing with sanitized spoon to lower the effective level of the drain.
