I wasn’t using an extension. It was plugged directly into an exterior outlet.

That would be a small percentage of error. I will have to boil some water on the stove and check it. I do another thermometer, and I should have checked the water the other day so I could have checked the boil in question.

I called anvil again and talked them and he said a simmer is all you need. He said that a simmer should put you at the right boil off rate. He also said a simmer is about all you will get out of it plugged into 120v.

The power was set to 100% and the switch was in the “I” position.

Nope sure don’t. Actually just about half that. The boil I got was probably more of a simmer rather than a boil.

So I repeated the test run with the lid on while it heated up. In about 1 hr 15 mins it had a really good boil going even though the display temperature read 205. After removing the lid within minutes the really good boil turned into a very very weak boil. Basically just some bubbles coming up...

No. The instruction manual said to not do that. I called anvil and the guy on the phone told me to try it with the lid on. After one hr remove the lid. He told me to go from 70 degree water to a boil should take 1 hr.

Do you have a heat up time to boil? I put 4 gallons of water to just test the time to get to a boil and after two and a half hours it had only gotten to 203. It was on 120v. Is that on par with an all in one like this?

I had to contact great fermentations about the 6.5 gallon system I had ordered from them. Mine was leaking and upon further investigation I found what I believe is the problem. It looks like the hole through the inner wall is positioned too far down. The outer wall keeps the flange of the spigot...

greatfermentations website still had some two days ago. I called them to make sure before I put an order in online. They had both the 10.5 gallon and 6.5 gallon.

Is the pump needed? Is it recommended? I haven’t brewed an all grain batch yet so I was wondering. I was looking at getting the one designed for 2.5-3 gallons.
