2x American IPA – Anvil Foundry Small Batch Adapter – Brew House Efficiency – Back to Back Review

OMG! Yes it is that time…time to test the Anvil Foundry Small Batch Adapter to see if it has a positive impact on brew house efficiencies!

This is Part 1 of 2. I did 2 – American IPAs back to back – The same grains, the same amount of pellet hops, the same grain crush, the same PH, the same amount of starting and finishing liquid! Did it make a BHE – Brew House Efficiency difference?

Hell Yes it did…but YMMV – Your Mileage May Vary.

Recipe for a 5.25 gallon batch for the American IPA:
8 lbs – Pale Malt – 2 Row Belgian
1 lb 11 oz – Vienna Malt
1 lb – Carared Malt
8 oz – Acid Malt
3.5 oz Caramel / Crystal Malt 80L
1 oz – Columbus (16.2% A) – 45 minute addition
Last 5 minute additions:
2 oz – Idaho Gem (14.1% A) – 5 minute addition (1st brew)
2 oz – Eukanot (13.1% A) – 5 minute addition (2nd brew)
Added 1 heaping tsp of Wyeast Yeast Nutrient Added 4 oz cooled wort with 1/4 tsp of Super Moss HB
Imperial Labs – #44 Kveik Blend Yeast (1st Brew)
Framgarden – (2nd Brew) (Failed – so we repitched Ebbegarden)

Dry hopped for 7 days after fermentation:
2.5 oz – Idaho Gem (14.1% A) (1st brew)
