The angle cut of the new pickup tube included with the hop stopper left a little more wort behind in the kettle than anticipated. I missed my volume into the fermenter by just under 1/2 gallon compared with my previous brews without it. Worked well otherwise.

I find that there is about a quart or more left in the hoses/pump/chiller when the BK goes "dry." That amount is not related to which version of the hop stopper being used.
As I have stated before, I love the Hop Stopper 2.0!

I agree. My second sentence was meant to imply that.
