I also stopped being lazy and unpacked my pH meter (Christmas gift from the wife in 2018, lol) and plan to use to monitor mash pH. I forget what I'm at for the roller gap, but it's always worked well with my cooler/hose braid tun. When the mash is done, you lift the basket out and rotate slightly and it drains while perched atop the kettle portion. It is a metal tube that nests in the kettle with small perforations on the bottom and lower sides. You can see it in the picture that jimdkc posted. Have some DME on hand if needed.Įdited by porter, 11 September 2020 - 06:55 AM. Doing a scotch ale that should be resilient if my efficiency is not as good as hoped (will do no sparge my first few batches, hopefully indefinitely if efficiency is acceptable). I've got everything set up for a first brew tomorrow morning. I bet with our 58 degree water that will cool 5 gallons of wort FAST. I've looked and you can buy a Y connection for garden hoses to run them both off of one hose. Plus, I actually noticed my old immersion chiller nests inside the one that came with the Foundry. The top loop is right at the 5 gallon mark. It sits inside the kettle just fine without submerging the fittings. I guess I'm not so concerned about it hanging over the side. The one I bought from NY Brew Supply (pictured in my post above) goes all the way to the bottom.
This thing's only half-way into the wort when you hang it over the edge of the kettle. The immersion chiller that comes with the 10 gallon system is apparently bigger than the one that comes with the 6.5 gallon system that I have:
