I find that the majority of the break is caught up with the hops so I just use the pump/recirc line to send it into the fermenter. When I get down to the last few liters I slow down the flow and when the wort looks cloudy I stop.

Mash tun deadspace? I have mine set at 3.5 lts (I measured this) Trub/chiller loss? I set to 2.75 lts but that can vary with the amount of hops.

The original MillMaster, I love mine. They don’t make them like that anymore!
