I have a simple gas grill that I use for sear and basic grilling, and a green mountain grill pellet that I use for smoking. Perhaps pellet grill doesn't satisfy some -- but I like the pellet grill specifically because its controls make it capable of maintaining consistent temperature for hours...

Yes, please.

After reading @DuncB, I just went and measured the level on the base of my anvil, a small stand (inverted milk crate and plywood :) ) on my garage floor. It's off by 1/4 in 18 inches. So, -- note to self -- the orientation of the anvil needs to be the same for all the measurements and from brew...

It sounds like you're covering all the issues that I raised. Are you using the stock wort chiller or something else? (Thinking outIoud...) I see the stock chiller at 3/8" and 28' -- or a volume of 0.6 liters or less if partially submerged, so with the stock chiller, your range looks reasonable...

As I'm working through your scenario, I'm seeing some of the same things that have stumped me in the limited time I've had my Anvil Foundry (though mine is 10.5). After my first batch I struggled with the numbers. I then spent some time exploring a bunch of details -- like the accuracy of the...

I'm intrigued by this comment, and don't want to drift too far from the original intent, but hopefully I'm staying on point here. I see Fermentis recommend 12-15C for S-189. What temperatures have you used, and what have flavor effects (if any) have you observed?

I also needed an Eaton/Cutler Hammer breaker (BR type for me), and I did this ^^ -- except my unused spa-panel is still for sale. Anyway, the price for the spa panel and breaker was less than just the breaker (which was also not in stock anywhere that I could find). I got the spa panel and...

I just brewed my first batch on the Anvil Foundry, and I have a lot to learn, but here are some questions and observations. ..What's you water source? Are you adding the water directly to the foundry or transferring it from somewhere? If you add it directly, are you using distilled or RO water...
