How are you guys dry hopping with this method?

Exactly!!! Like trying to cool you kitchen by leaving the refrigerator door open :)

What type hops, pellet or whole? Did you have any issues with plugged posts?

A 15 amp circuit will be sufficient assuming the voltage is 120, now if there are other loads on that circuit you could have issues.

This is a cool idea, read the thread where you posted pictures and I am going to try this. I can defiantly taste and notice reduced hop aroma with hop forward beers after about a week in the keg. This gives me an excuse to buy another keg :ban:

Anvil responded that due to loss of efficiency they do not recommend batches less than 2.5 gallons. Not a deal breaker as I only brew smaller batches once or twice a year.

Good point. I failed to realize that both units are equal in kettle diameter so mashing with only 2.5 gallons may be insufficient volume. Thanks!

This leads me to believe with the 6.5 gallon system the smallest batch size would most likely be around 2 gallons, possibly 1.5 which is what I am hoping for.

I am strongly considering getting the 6.5 gallon foundry. I biab 3 gallon batches and occasionally do a 1.5 gallon batch. Not sure if it can be done in this unit or not so I emailed Anvil and I'm waiting on their response. Not a deal breaker though. I was hoping to read a review or see a video...

Since I switched to kegging the cleaning is not that bad. Hated cleaning all those bottles! I biab so after the mash I rinse the bag and hang to dry while boiling. Keg a batch on Saturday brew on Sunday. Otoh waiting 4-6 weeks to taste a new recipe sucks at first but like BruceH said having a...

This i what I do using pellets or leaf that I just throw in the fermentor. Works well.

I stand corrected, not sure where I got that from. I looked at so many mills on Amazon,ebay and homebrew supply sites. Thanks for the reply's guys.

So I dove in and got a cereal killer from AIH for a great price. Had it for $99 with 13% off and free shipping so I couldn't pass that up. I just crushed my first batch and it works great! How do you clean the mill, just blow it off and wipe it down or can you run water through it? I know the...

What yeast and ferm temp? Vessel and batch size? I have brewed that recipe several times and never have come close to a blowoff . I brew 3 gal biab in a 5 gal bmb with just an airlock.

I bought a 2 tap kegerator that came with a 5lb aluminum bottle and I also got a spare from an online brew shop. Get the bottles filled at a fire extinguisher shop and they will also do the 5 year hydro test. Depending on where you live some beer distributors who sell kegs will fill bottles.

I have this Magic chef 4.4 cu. in. No freezer and minimal door protrusions. Right now I have a 5 gal BMB and a 3 gal fermonster inside. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Magic-Chef-4-4-cu-ft-Mini-Refrigerator-with-Freezerless-Design-in-Stainless-Steel-HMAR440ST/207169805

Hmm... I have 2 Fermonsters, both have 2 flat washers. No leaks

As others have said I love the simplicity of biab. It was the easiest and least expensive way to move up to all grain. I brew only for myself and a few family members so sediment and clarity areno concern to me. Taste is what I'm after however with each batch I brew using a small Wilser bag to...

So I picked up one of these and just kicked the first keg today. I do like it but as Sleizure said the faucets could be better. Did not have any foam issues with the first keg. I use slimline torpedo kegs and have 3 in with the gas bottle no issues with space. I brew 3 and 2 gallon batches...

Makes sense, I know the screen in my large funnel would clog up fast so I stopped using that. I like that idea! How do you attach it to the kettle, with a spring clamp
