This video helped a ton getting started. First run today. Sprung for the Anvil Foundry. Really like it one batch in. Lots of baked in simplicity and easier cleanup. I only had one issue. Brewing a NE-ish-style IPA with a 13/5 pound grain bill - including 2 pounds rice hull to lessen any stuck mash. Kettle set for 159 with a 153 target when mashed in. Slowly stir in the grains .... No change in temp! Hangs at 159 all in. I had to paddle stir grains getting some of the bottom hot zones up to top. Slow temp changes this way. Added 1/2 gallon cold water to the mad stir. Took about 10-12 minutes aggressive stirrring to hit 153. The few videos I have watched they portray it as much faster. And was my experience my old methods - 3 tier using converted kegs. Note, that was 15 yrs ago - just getting back into it ;D

@ShortCircuitedBrewers 3 жыл бұрын

You have to realize that the temp on the screen is a reading from the bottom. UNDER the malt pipe. Sounds like you have good knowledge of brewing trust your instincts and mash in calculations. I image the middle of the mash was the correct temp.

Great review, Brian! Love your Channel. Just completed my first all-grain brew day on the Anvil Foundry. Your honest and in-depth review convinced me that this was the system to purchase. It took awhile to get but it was well worth the wait! There is definitely going to be a learning curve coming from partial mashing to all-grain, but I’m glad I made the jump. The day went well and I hit my numbers, but the clean up!! How I wish I had a brewery like yours! Thankfully the weather has been unseasonably warm because I finally had to finish cleaning the Foundry outside on my deck. The malt pipe was the hardest to clean. Since this is basically a Brew in a Bag system, I just might use a brewing bag the next time I brew again. Any thoughts? Again, thanks for the excellent review! Cheers!🍻

If you had to decide between this unit and the mash and boil, what would you choose. Price points are basically the same, and I suppose the anvil does have a slightly larger capacity but in my opinion if your are only doing a 5 gallon batch both still have plenty of extra room. So I guess it comes down temperature precious and quality of the build, which would you choose and why?

@ShortCircuitedBrewers 3 жыл бұрын

I saw you exact question on the Facebook page. Lots of good advice from everyone there. It's situational based on how much grain etc. You can do a traditional mash and sparge. Just make sure you have enough water for the grain to be saturated. If you are recirculating, you have to be more careful to make sure the bottom doesn't become exposed and cause scorching due to not enough wort in the bottom. 👍🍻

Hey thanks for the informative video. Long time BIAB brewer and actually have this ordered and on the way, after spending the whole summer deciding on which system I'd like to get. My question is regarding your transfer to your fermentation vessel. Aren't you worried about contamination of your wort by using the pump to transfer? If I am getting this right, the pump will roughly pasteurized from the recirculation of the mash, however boiling wort never goes through it (as this would cause damage to the pump). Did you find this to be suitable in preventing contamination?

@ShortCircuitedBrewers 3 жыл бұрын

You can run a little boiling temp wort through it to sanitize it then turn it off until ready to transfer.👍🍻

First brew in new 10.5 gal. Foundry today and found your video very helpful. I also took your advice on building a GFCI converter cable so I could run at 240V using a 30A unused dryer circuit. One thing I experienced was a very vigorous boil after mash out. I’d turned it up to full power for the boil and found that to be too much. (I had to kill the power just before it boiled over!) I backed down to 85% and that was a much better (still vigorous) boil. Have you experienced this? Another thing that would be helpful are some cleaning tips for the system. I have a deep utility sink but not quite big enough for the tall 10.5 system components.

Could you provide the total height of the kettle with the basket pulled up please? - My best guess by gauging the manufacturer pictures is about 48"

With regard to sparging, do you think adding the sparge water at a very slow rate vs. pretty much just quickly pouring it in is a better way to go and do you think the outcome will be any different with perforated disk on or off when adding the sparge water. Thanks much.

@ShortCircuitedBrewers 3 жыл бұрын

It's really going to depend on how well your grain bed is draining. If it's draining fast I would say pour slowly if it is draining about average where water will sit on top of the grain you can just pour it all on there. I do like pouring it over the disc because it disperses the liquid more evenly. But if you're able to have liquid standing on top of the grain you don't necessarily have to pour it over the disc. 👍🍻

What are your thoughts on this system vs the RoboBrew. I've been a propane brewer for years AND this will be my first all grain system. Up to this point it's been all partial mash and extract brews. I don't really want to jump up to the grainfather, so I'm looking at these 2 systems instead.

@ShortCircuitedBrewers 3 жыл бұрын

There are some advantages that the Anvil has. The ability to power with 240v is a big one for me. 120v is pretty slow to hear up. Especially if you are coming from a sizable burner with propane. I do think the external pump is a plus as well. Easy to clean if it gets clogged as opposed to trying to blow the clog out of the RB. The latest model of the Foundry has controls at the tip of the unit which is nice on the back!! Both systems make great beer. If you are able to use 240 I would lean toward the Anvil system. 👍🍻

I've done 5 different brews with the Anvil at 120v. (all turned out great!) Just finished making my 240 gfci 30 amp cord (per your youtube video) so my next one will be using 240v.

It varies depending on your elevation. 50% during mash is the general consensus, and 90% during boil is a good place to start. If you think that's too vigorous of a boil you can drop it down. But I would leave it at 100% when coming up to a boil. 👍🍻

I’ve been watching your videos (awesome) while I went through the decision making process for an all-in-one electric system. I ended up getting an Anvil Foundry 10.5. In this video, it sounds like you hit your numbers exactly for that kit… However, most of what I read about these systems (particularly the Anvil?) is about a drop in efficiency (e.g. down to 60%)? Maybe that is how the kit recipe was formulated, or maybe you could give me tips for getting that kind of efficiency as I prep to brew my first batch. In my cooler mash system, I hit ~75% efficiency on average without even worrying about anything… I am not really worried about the efficiency loss, but just hoping for less time up front in process/recipe adjustments. No sweat if I don’t hit the numbers - that’s what extract is for (or just ferment it like it is)!
