Anvil Foundry 10.5 Brewing Comparison [ 240 vs 120 ]

I’ll compare how 2 Foundrys perform at 240 vs and 120 on an actual brew day. See if brewing a 5 gallon batch of beer at 120 volts can keep up with my system running at 240 volts.
Cheers!

Thanks for doing the homework for me. I just got a new Anvil Foundry 10.5 and have to use 120 for now. Have to wait a month or two for temps to come up a little for fermentation.

No problem, happy to help! Good luck with your first brew on the system:)

Very nice and congrats on the 1k. I always say, buy an Anvil Foundry at 120v and once you can move to 240v, just flip the switch. Love 240v over 120v for speed of heating and the nice boil.

Thanks, Bitter Reality Brewing! It is a great feature to be able to switch between the two power options. I do plan to use 120 in my kitchen at some point. I plan to scale down my batch to 2.5 gallon for when I use 120. Cheers!

You will really notice the difference between the two systems if you start from heating the strike water together. You leveled the playing field by preheating. Also, you do not want to boil with the top on ,(120v) as the DMSO will not escape. This will lead to an off flavor in your friends beer(Would be interesting video if you compare the two). I found that recirculating the mash water helps to maintain the temp within about 2 degrees on the 240v system. For the boil, I need about 84% power to maintain a rolling boil ( 240v). I mostly use my electric system indoors, so outdoor temp is not a factor for me but surely it impacted you guys on brew day. Thanks for the video!

That’s a really good point about the lid, I wish I talked about that in the video. My buddy did remove the cap on the lid for the recirculation port and this does let steam out during the boil. Does it get rid of all the dmso, I don’t know. Spike posted an interesting test about their condenser and dmso, however they pointed out that the condenser acts like a vacuum for the steam. I am interested in tasting his beer now. I have thought about this same issue when brewing on my HERMS system and using the condenser method to remove steam. I may run a test to see how much dmso is left while using this system. This could make for an interesting video. Also I seem to dial back my power settings close to yours for the boil. Thanks for the comment and feedback!!! Cheers!
