Cleaning more all-in-units is reasonably straightforward, and their modular design makes slowly spreading the process over the brew day possible.Ĭonsistent results – Repeatability is important, both in competitive brewing and brewing you’re favorite beers again and again. There’s no magic solution to eliminate cleaning (apart from the invention of disposable brewing gear), but the efficient design and limited parts used with these systems make the process slightly less painful. In most cases, it’s the majority of the work. The size and design of these systems make them an excellent option for people with limited storage space, brewing space, apartment brewers, and anyone looking to brew in a small area and get big results.Ĭleaning – There’s no avoiding cleaning on a brew day. It takes the same floor space, though you will need a bit of clearance to lower and raise the malt pipe, and if you’re brewing inside you may want some additional clearance to let the steam dissipate. Now when it comes to brewing – there are not too many changes. But luckily, nearly, if not all, the items used on a typical brew day can be stored inside the system unit itself. They are considerably tall and do need room to be stored. Slim footprint – Saying these all-in-one systems have a “small footprint” is a bit misleading. Some units can even do it for you with pre-programmed mash schedules. And with easy-to-use controls, a step mash, mash out, or any desired temperature adjustment is incredibly simple. Once the brewer gets used to the control of their unit, these electric brewing units can hold mash temperatures within 1 degree during the entire mash process. Now while the all-in-one units can’t contribute to the stability of fermentation temperatures, their precision control over mash temperatures is unmatched. Precise control – Temperature control may be one of the top things home brewers focus on both during the brew day and after. One place to set your strike temperature, one screen to begin your boil, and one place to monitor everything at a glance.
But one thing nearly every all-in-one electric system has in common is the single control panel. Why are so many of us checking it out and brewing excellent beers on these systems? Here are a few reasons why:Įase of use – The controls differ in look and use from system to system. The Foundry, Grainfather, Brewzilla – nearly every major player in the all-in-one field is owned by at least one member of the CFHB. Many CFHB club members have switched or added one of these systems to their brewing arsenal. I’m not the only one in the club that’s jumped on this ever-increasing all-in-one electric brewing system bandwagon, far from it. And now that three-vessel system looks incredibly lonely, sharing shelf space with my new, second Anvil Foundry All-in-one electric brew system – this one being the 10.5-gallon version. Two years later, the visible layer of dust on top of my old mash tun speaks volumes.

The original intent was to make fast, somewhat easy, 1-gallon to 2 and half-gallon test batches before committing to a full brew day on my three-vessel propane “brew house.” Please be patient as more links will be added you have to start somewhere.In late 2019 I ordered the 6.5 Anvil Foundry All-in-one electric brewing system.
