I don't know what bag specifically, I borrowed it from a friend. It was a medium crush, very little powder.

Brewed my third beer in the Foundry today. Used rice hulls in the first two. Today, used a bag, no rice hulls. If I did my math correctly, 66% efficiency on batch 2, and 88% today with the bag. First two had a lot of sediment, hardly any today. Also today, measured out six gallons of water...

I was expecting a OG closer to 1.050 or higher, so the 1.033 seemed pretty low, but the sticky feel of the grains was obvious that there were plenty more sugars available. We lifted the mash pipe and ran the recirculation through it above, as in the picture, and that seemed to help quite a bit.

I did my first brew on the 10.5 foundry, an American Wheat Ale. I started with 5.9 gallons water. My mash was 6lbs two row and 5lbs wheat, with 1/2lb rice hulls, then 1 gallon sparge. My gravity was low after sparge, 1.033, and the grains were sticky, so we started a vorlauf. Changed set temp...

I just signed up, looks great.

I switched to brew in the basement in MI. I hope to have my 240 set up within the next week. I just couldn't wait to do something with it.

6.5 gallons

Sorry, couldn't load the video of the boil.

Recently got my 10.5 system and tested times on 120. Started with 81 degrees water from tap, took 1:09 to reach a mash in temp of 160, with lid on. Once at 160, set it to boil, took 1:00 to reach 212, with lid on.

Thank you all for the great information. I recently purchased the Anvil Foundry, and plan on brewing in the basement until weather permits me to go outside. Hope to have 240V in the not too distant future, so looking at potential 2800W. I am planning to use the bowl ventilation to reduce...
