The temp in the middle of the mash will be ~140F while the Foundry reads 152F - mixing frequently is key to getting appropriate starch conversion. Stir your mash several times - every 5-10 minutes for the first 30 minutes, right to the bottom of the pipe.If you try to go with the 1.25-1.5 qt/lb recommendation you'll have trouble with poor efficiency and stuck vorlauf and sparge. Use more water - I usually start by dumping in a 5-gallon container of RO water - about 1.75-2 qt/lb grist.Grind quite coarse - I have my mill set at 0.040", it cracks the malt into 3-4 pieces, and the hull remains pretty much intact - I get 80% efficiency and much better vorlauf and sparging.You can heat your water the night before and mash in first thing in the morning, makes brew day go fast. I was going to set up a 220V plug for it at one point but I don't think that's necessary, I'm doing fine with 110V. I've done maybe 12-14 batches it's working well for me now but I had a couple batches at the beginning that didn't go so well - there's a learning curve but now I'm making great beers with it. I've been using a 10.5 w pump kit without any modifications for about 2-1/2 years. I get my water ready the night before, set it for 8-10 hours and when I get up it's at strike temp. The preset function of the anvil is great. This makes doughing in 100x easier to break up dough balls, as well as stirring/whirlpooling while cooling. They didn't have the 24" when I got mine but I would opt for 24". They're basically all the MP style Chinese pump, some just cost more cause they have a fancy name to them.Ī lot of people swear by the riptide pump, I pre ordered the new Spike flow, still waiting on that to get here but it should be similar if not better than the riptide.īuy a giant whisk at a food service store. Get a ferroday or even one of the pumps from one of the online homebrew shops. It's small, underpowered and not worth it. Maybe not necessary but I like it rather than the tube and plate anvil sends. I added the clawhammer spray valve to the lid.
This also means you don't have to cut the plug off the foundry and can swap between 240 and 110 with the flip of a switch. I didn't have to wire in a specific outlet or a GFCI breaker in the panel.
This allows me to plug it into my dryer outlet in the laundry room. I made a 120 to 240v cable with inline GFCI. This helps mix up the water that's on the outside of the pipe increasing your efficiency. Stir the grain bed every 15 minutes and lift the malt pipe, let it drain a bit then lower it back into the wort. I have one specific to the pipe, but I wish I would have got the bigger one since it would fit the pipe and the kettle if I just wanted to do BIAB. Lots of great info there as well as upgrades. There is an anvil foundry owners FB group.
