Also would need to be sure there is enough clearance to allow the whirlpool fitting to co-exist with the malt tube. AFAIK there are no electrical components / wiring in the walls of the Anvil, but I'll check w/ them to be sure. I have one on my regular boil kettle and it works like a champ. I'm immediately thinking to install an SSBrewTech whirlpool fitting on the Anvil. might have to look for a mesh tube that is taller than 14".Ĭracked open a Maine Beer Zoe to have with my lunch. Might not be next time, I'll have to be careful. Had about 0.5" clearance, but that was enough. My hop tube only reaches a couple of inches into the wort, so I unhooked it from the side of the Foundry and set it on the bottom. (It is interesting that the readout says 208✯, but it's clearly at a very low "entry level" boil.) It's a very gentle boil when I first took the lid off it looks a bit more vigorous, but it settled down to more a "simmer". Update #2: Took just shy of an hour to bring ~6 gallons to a boil 120v. Lifted the malt pipe, took about four minutes for the primary wort to drain, I'm going to let it sit at least until the wort comes up to a boil, if not longer. Update #1: Just finished the mash, and I hit an efficiency of 76%. It's virtually silent, no cavitation issues, and if I let it go full-steam it's quite powerful - not quite as fast as my Chugger or March pumps, but close enough for brewing purposes. It's recirculating now for the mash, and so far this little pump is performing admirably. (I would not, of course, recirculate if I was setting the timer the night before.) enough that I plan to recirculate the entire time next session, as it looks like it would save me at least 10 - 15 minutes heating to strike temp. So for the ten minute segments where I recirculated, I did see an increase in temperature gain. After 60 minutes I stopped timing and let it just go all the way to my target temp of 159✯, while recirculating, as I milled my grain.
