Out of the box everything was quite clean.
Overall a great system, very easy to start up and use. The 10.5 gallon capacity allows me to make keg sized batches of big beers. I had a first gen RoboBrew and the Anvil system is far superior in every aspect. I would recommend this system to anyone wanting to get into electric brewing. The two beers I have made are both excellent (Vienna Lager and a Hazy IPA). I really like the fact that I can walk away from the brew and do other things and not worry about my gas burner needing adjustment or the dogs getting their tail too close to the fire. My brew day is not any shorter using this unit, but cleanup is easier. The included chiller is OK but a little slow. Once the batch is chilled to my desired temperature, I am using my own homemade copper chiller.
I have a stainless steel tube to circulate around the chiller without splashing. Once boil is complete I hook up my circulation pump and begin cooling the batch. I get a nice boil from the unit but not enough to have to worry about boil over.Īt 15 minutes I add my chiller. O let the basket drain for 10-15 minutes and then slowly rinse with the 2 gallons of water I saved back. Once conversion is complete, heat to 168 degF and then lift the grain basket and allow it to drain and change my temp setting to boil. The unit holds the mash temp within +/-1 degF. I added my grains and adjusted pH and got my pump circulating. Since everything is automatic, you don't need to monitor the temperature. I also had time to eat breakfast and drink coffee while reading. My last two brews, I started heating my water and had time to weigh my grains and hops, grind my grain and sanitize my fermenter. I have used the timer to have my strike water ready for me when I wake up, this eliminates the 1 hour and 15 minutes it takes to heat the water from ambient to 155 degF. I use a half pound of rice hulls also.īrew day time. It is really a rinse since I don't dunk the grains into the sparge water, just pore them slowly over the top. I heat up my strike water and sparge water together, then pull 2 gallons for the sparge then dough in. I am getting 65% BH efficiency using a 2 gallon grain rinse. I am using the 120V option with a recirculation pump.Įfficiency. It took me two batches to get my parameters set correctly in BeerSmith. I have made three 6 gallon batches with my Anvil 10.5.
