Another that I would recommend are these guys Genus Brewing who have reviewed both, and can be entertaining to watch at times. I'll second Short Circuited Brewers as fairly comparing the pros and cons of different models. It shipped yesterday and is due to be delivered on Monday, July 13th. I ordered my 6.5 gallon Foundry on July 4th, directly from Anvil. From their replacement parts section, I ordered the boiler lid tube and the perforated disc, for an additional $31. I didn't order the full recirculation kit with the Foundry. There are other things that can be done to help that, like adding rice hulls, doing a beta-glucanase rest, or not recirculating too fast. I know it's to prevent stuck sparges, but it also means that water/wort isn't flowing through the grain bed uniformly. I wasn't thrilled about the extra perforations on the sides of the mash pipe on the 10.5 gallon Foundry, which don't exist in the mash pipe for the smaller unit. I chose to go with the 6.5 gallon Anvil Foundry, but from all of my research, the Robobrew is a good unit as well. Kudos to CuS.S brewing and glad to help out a great company.ĮDIT: I did use a spin cycle overboard whirlpool arm (18") from brew to assist with chilling and both the whirlpool arm and chiller make chilling a breeze with no effort on my part.Ĭlick to expand.I'll second Short Circuited Brewers as fairly comparing the pros and cons of different models. But after my experience with Jeremy - I noticed his cleverness: CuStomer Service. is "equipment you can swear by", I never paid attention to the period between the S's in the company name. Today I chilled to 90 degrees (pitch temps for the kviek I was using) in about 5 minutes with 83 degree ground water (north carolina). Awesome! So Ive now brewed with the new all-in-one try coil twice and it sits flat and Im no longer worried about the snag on the dip tube or unseating the dip tube etc. I was blown away as I didn't even ask for this. He emailed me back in about 24hrs and said he was going to make and then send me a new one in a couple of days to "make it right with me" with the modification and provided paid postage for me to send him back the old one. So I emailed Jeremy about it asking if the modification was to make it able to sit flat. This insert blocks the high flow side perforations on the 10.5 gal Anvil Foundry to improve efficiency for small grain bills. About a couple weeks ago a friend asked me about the chiller and when I went to the website, I noticed a new "modification" for the anvil foundry. I chalked this up to my poor measurements on my part and continued to use it as is. Ordered the "all in one" in january for my 10.5g foundry, used it a bunch but it actually didn't fit flat in the foundry because of the dip tube was literally about a half inch too long. Two Sizes Available: 10.5 Gallon for 5 Gallon Batches and 6.5 Gallon for 2.5 to 3 Gallon Batches.I can't say enough good things about Jeremy at CuS.S. No Need to Disassemble Entire Unit! Use for Other Pumping Needs too. External Pump Won’t Plug and is Easy to Clean.
