I haven't had a naked PF all that long.
I've been trying really hard to get grind/dose/tamp right.
What I've been noticing often lately is that as the pour comes thru the naked PF, one side will get most of the flow to begin with and the other has less.
So my mousetail might be a bit off centre and the other side is dripping slowly.
Then after a while bit with the most flow blonds slightly, earlier than the other side, but the flow moves more to the other area so that by the end of the pull, most of the puck seems to have had more or less the same volume of water through it.
Any pointers as to whether this a normal thing or a sign that I'm not tamping evenly enough?
I will try to get a vid next weekend...

I just tamp it till I feel my Espro click, release and lightly twist to polish... everytime I forget not to twist with weight on top, I get chaneling around the middle of my puck... now I get a consistent shot, with blonding only at the end of the shot... with the 20g VST, I can do a longer pull without blonding to 2X 1.5 shot
