    ANVIL FOUNDRY ALL-GRAIN BREWING SYSTEM

    I haven't used it yet but I bought this based off a recommendation on the Anvil user facebook page. It fits with about a half inch around the sides. The guy who posted it used stainless nuts, bolts, and washers to build legs to get it above the valve.

    ANVIL FOUNDRY ALL-GRAIN BREWING SYSTEM

    Got my 10.5 delivered yesterday. Planning on brewing an ESB on Friday with it.

    My little brewing experiment

    While the color doesn't actually bother me and it certainly does not decrease my enjoyment of the beer at all, I do think next time I try something similar I will probably just use a 50/50 mix of MO and 2-Row. I also noticed that the dry hops seem to have a harsher taste than I normally get...

    My little brewing experiment

    Had another glass last night. Carbonation was much better, the flavor is almost exactly what I was hoping for, but the color is a little darker than I hoped it would be.

    My little brewing experiment

    So I kegged the beer on Wednesday (7-8-20) and did one test pour after I got home last night (7-12-20) and despite it be a little under carbonated I am impressed. I turned up the CO2 last night and will give it another try and get some pictures tonight. I can attest to the Kveik being a good...

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    That sounds awesome. Just might have to go to the store and get the stuff to make it this afternoon.

    Is this grain milled?

    I squeeze the bag so I normlly only lose approximately two quarts to absorption or approximately 0.16 quarts per pound.

    Is this grain milled?

    I'm in the same situation of not enough room for a mill until I finish a remodel. That being said I order all my grains double crushed from Atlantic and average 82% efficiency doing full volume BIAB in my Igloo.

    My little brewing experiment

    I decided that I wanted to try something different from my standard brews of English Ales, IPA's, and Porters, so on July 3rd I brewed my first NEIPA and used Hornidal Kveik for the first time. Recipe was 5 lbs 2 Row, 5 lbs Maris Otter, .5 lb Amber, and .5 lb Carapils. Mash was 148 for 60...

    ANVIL FOUNDRY ALL-GRAIN BREWING SYSTEM

    I contacted him last week to ask the same question. He replied back in less than an hour that he had the dimensions and to just list that it was for the 10.5 foundry when I ordered. Bags actually arrived yesterday.

    ANVIL FOUNDRY ALL-GRAIN BREWING SYSTEM

    So after not receiving any updates from MoreBeer and not even being given a definitive answer about whether or not I would receive the Foundry as part of the June shipment or not I ordered direct through Anvil for the July shipment and cancelled the order with MoreBeer.

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    Can't believe that I just found this thread. I threw a 10ish pound pork shoulder on the smoker this morning before I left for work.

    First attempt at brewing

    Well the keg from the first batch is now gone. Hopefully my prediction of being able to drink this one by the weekend will hold out. That is my intention as well. My wife and I did have a circuit of sorts of the local craft breweries and one craft beer bar that we would visit at least a couple...

    First attempt at brewing

    I also made a Berliner Weisse for my wife using the Quick and Dirty Berliner recipe I found on here. Should be able to taste it around the same time to see how that worked.
