Or at least that's what it looked like when I cleaned the conical in the sink. I had IPA in the conical and all the hops and yeast clogged the 2.5" pipe on the conical.

I stupidly put about 2 quarts of water in to try and dislodge it. It went whoosh when I took off the try clamp.

Oof. Yeah that stuff is better in the compost heap or trash can. Just snake it, you’ll be fine. Hot PBW solution or Oxyclean might break it up too
