I bought the hand truck years ago for moving to a new house, but this has been an excellent use of something I haven't used since the move and it saves the amount of lifting needed tremendously. The picture was intended to show someone else the whirlpool arm but you can see the 'brew stand' behind it.

So I wheel to my fermenter to push wort into fermenter (never had to lift a full fermenter because of this!), wheel it outside to rinse off etc. What makes everything easy for me is that I have my kettle setup on a hand truck that folds all the way down where I built a crude platform for it. Then I dump the water into a bucket to move and dispose. While the setup is recirculating and heating, I simply clean up everything else around, and perhaps have a beer/attend to family etc.Īfter PBW is complete in the system I use the same PBW water to clean all other SS parts (recirculating disk, SS mash paddle, etc. I then wheel the kettle to my garden hose and fill it up to gunk level (about 8gallons), then wheel it back to my garage, plug it in and add PBW.

Not much left so I lift the nearly empty kettle and dump into a bucket for transport.Ģ. yes I dump the leftovers after pushing wort to fermenter.

If I were to get a new Anvil or other brewing unit, I would first trust the software in which I have the control to enable it to reflect my process losses, efficiency, and brewing style before I trusted a generic set of instructions designed to get one 'close enough', whatever that means to the person writing the recommendations.ġ. will all dictate so one extent or another how much water you actually will need. Differences in grind, extraction efficiency, mash/sparge water split, water retention in the grains, boil off rate due to elevation, etc. If you are using a stock profile, then it represents someone else's work at dialing in their Anvil to get reasonably accurate volume results given the way they brew.Įven people with the same equipment experience, sometimes significant, differences in results. The Brewfather numbers should represent your particular equipment if you have taken the time to make adjustments for your style of brewing and equipment particulars. These are clearly written for those users who do not use software or where close enough is good enough. Again, this does not have any specific adjustments for individual process such as wort loss to the spent grains. The Anvil recommendations are also fairly generic and designed for those people who want an easy go-to to get close to the desired results. The instructions are very generic since the writer does not have the information to be specific about the process each user will utilize. The recipe is written for people who have all kinds of different systems - from a mash cooler which leaves 2.5 +/- quarts of wort behind when the wort is drained into the boil kettle to an AIO system where there is no such loss to consider. OK, so let's look at the different sources:
