I could do an entire session in about 4 hours including clean up. Go for the smaller system for smaller batches.
No matter what they say, dont get the 20 gallon for 5 gallon batches. I love my brew boss controller and tablet app. I moved inside and bought a Brew Boss 20 gallon system. Sub zero degrees is too cold for outside as you might freeze. It's never too hot to brew outside as I lived in Death Valley where it got to 127 degrees. I moved to a new location and the winters were too cold to brew outside. The system was propane and I brewed outdoors. I brewed for a long time, all grain on a 3 vessel system. I think I do exactly what you're talking about. Was it worth every penny I've spent on both of my setups to have them up and running now instead of sitting around as a useless pile of unassembled parts? Absolutely. Would either of those happened anywhere near the foreseeable future? Absolutely not. Will I eventually replace both systems with a "proper" 220 volt, 10 gallon electric brew system of some type? Probably. When I get the rare treat of a dedicated brew day I absolutely intend to use my main system and make 10 gallon batches (actually, the Foundry is so hands off I'll probably use both for a 15 gallon day).Ĭould I have built a better/more flexible version of the Foundry for a similar price point or slightly less? Probably. I am very happy to have it as a second/backup system and will likely use it more often than my main system, but that's only because it lets me brew while still being a parent. If anything I would expect my Foundry batches to be more consistent because I'm not trying to fine tune the burner to adjust the boil off. I've only brewed once on my Foundry and that batch is still carbonating so I can't speak to the finished quality, but I can't think of any reason the quality would be lower than with my propane setup. I would have gone with High Gravity, Brew Boss, or SS Brewtech 1V setup or wait to see if their FTSS will be that higher quality all in one 1 was looking for. If i were to do it again i would have gotten a higher quality setup from the start, but i like you thought this would be my inclement weather only setup and would brew a lot more on my traditional system.
If it had to be an all in 1, i would go with Grainfather but at that price point i might as well go with a non all in 1 electric that is somewhat more traditional.
The Anvil is the new kid on the block and unknown what their issues will be. Does not help that there have been main board issues on the Robobrew V3 that have me thinking they are a ticking time bomb. I am about 15 batches in and feel this way. If you brew a lot, the fit finish and robustness of the all in one may not be worth it in the long haul. The anvil looks better as it has more perforated surface area that might address the stuck sparge issue and not have to crush grain so coarse which would fix the efficiency issues.Ĥ) Dont underestimate the getting what you pay for. Mainly repeatability of efficiency, hitting targets, and managing stuck sparges. I am looking at a upgraded all electric system at the moment as i think the Robobrew has some limitations that frustrate me at times to be consistent. I only use it about 10% of the time for 10 gallon high volume easy drinking summer beers but find myself using my all in 1 (Robobrew) setup most of the time. For reference i was a cooler batch sparger on outdoor propaneġ) I love it, but it did take a few batches to dial in crush and recirc/lauter to workĢ) Not at all, simply adjusted to match the nuances of the new setupģ) Not as much i i thought i would, i find that once i dialed in my indoor setup i rarely go back to the old outdoor setup as it was different.
