Hop Craft is THE BEST homebrew store! Awesome guys, and great shipping options if you’re not super local.
Have you ever considered doing a sparge on the grain bed? Good video. I create some videos using the VEVOR. I haven’t heard about the space between the kettle and basket before. I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks!
Thanks for the shout out, Kevin! Great job on the vid! Glad the shot sheets worked for you!
Nice video I've only brewed on the Anvil 10.5 system once with 120V and I liked it a lot. Brewed a hoppy premium American Lager. Looking forward to brewing my next batch with 240 volts. Because my son just wired a 240V outlet close to my water source. I just subscribed to your channel! Cheers!
Enjoyed the video, and learned a few things! (I'm a newbie)
Cheers.
No Stress! The ONLY way to brew!
The experts on the forums!?!?!
Several regulars of the various forums I visit have conducted measured tests. There are three or more so rather than name them all I simply said "the experts on the forums". One user who I truly regard as an expert when it comes to the Anvil Foundry unit goes by the name Oginme. He has posted several times citing his empirical data which show a marked increase in efficiency when the basket is lifted allowing that deadspace water to be introduced into the mash.
In one test Oginme states that at the end of the mash he took gravity readings from the mash basket that measured 11.6 brix (1.0467). Then took a second reading from the wort coming out of the recirculation hose at 11.5 brix (1.0463). Both nearly identical which is to be expected. Then he used a pipet to draw liquid from between the malt pipe and the kettle wall and got a reading of 0.8 brix (1.0031). While this indicates that there is some sugar present it isn't very much. When you lift the basket all that water will mix with and dilute the 1.046 wort.
No sparge? That would bring your preboil to expected og perhaps.
The recipe was designed for a full volume boil. It just means that on this first run I needed to adjust my equipment profile.
@@Homebrew58 setting mine up to brew tomorrow. Been 6 years since last homebrew. Kind of wracking my brain over the mash in water amount vs sparge amount. Last I remember is having qt/grain ratio dictate water amount.
good video except the music which starts about half way through
Which capacity Foundry is best for 5 gallon yield? Thanks.
The 10.5 is designed for 5 gallon batches. The 6.5 is too small but perfect for 2.5 to 3 gallons. If you regularly brew beers requiring very large grain bills you might want to look at the 18 but it was designed for 10 gallon batches. For your average 5 gallon yield I'd say its overkill.
