Distilling with anvil foundry6/18/2023 Chose it for simplicity and to see if I’d actually like distilling enough to stick with it. The Turbo 500 has been a PITA for keeping stable temperature for water discharge. Had I not been trying to find a reflux condenser to fit the Foundry lid I’d have considered other options. Side note: Anvil being part of Blichmann Engineering- the give outstanding customer support and technical service. The Anvil Foundry uses a linear pulse controller for controlling power output, similar to their Blichmann Brewcommander controller. Being able to use 120v and 240v for same boiler is a great thing. But I have dedicated 240v power in garage specifically for brewing (3 vessel system then, now 240v with 5500w elements in BIAB type vessels). With 120v being standard household power in the states the other units mentioned are great - gave them consideration. My specific reason for choosing Anvil Foundry was (and is) the dual voltage capability. Then later picked up Foundry 6.5 because I’m down to doing small batches with more variety. I’ve been an all grain brewer for decades and switched to all electric single vessel brewing several years ago. It has two settings: on and off (though Richard at Love Brewing as a temp controller now, but far too expensive to ship to states). The Still Spirits boiler is pretty specific in its use: distilling. It’s primarily aimed for all grain brewers wanting and all in one, BIAB type system (thank you Aussies for showing us the BIAB method!). The key difference being it’s dual voltage capability and 3 separate burners at different wattage. Yummyrum- yep it’s “similar” to the Grainfater, Digiboil, or Robobrew but with a few added features.
