![]() ![]() Why do I love it you might ask? Well for a whole host of reasons that I will cover in this post but the first reason being that this little bad boy was my first electric system I ever brewed on and she and I have brewed up a boat load of home brew together and she has never let me down even one time… I’m pretty stoked to do this review, because I really do love this little magic beer making beast of a system! Only time will tell if it can handle two brews a month for longer than a few months.Welcome to my Brewers Edge Mash and Boil review… The slightly faster brew time and the smaller footprint and the price are what do it for me despite the smaller volume. With that said, the mash and boil does allow you to push the temp above 212 to ensure a better boil while brewing. If you’re moving from extract you might not, making this not a rookie friendly or “all included” product.Ĭontroller panel, I think anvil takes this one as it sits up higher on the system than the mash and boil. No wort chiller, for any brewer who has been doing it for a while or had a larger all grain gas set up you’ve already got some form of chiller. My opinion the anvil has this system beat in this regard as you can cram 16lbs of grain and 8 gal of water no problem into the foundry. Unless you’re doing a three gal batch the total water volume and your grain bill won’t fit in the system. Boils seem slightly more vigorous as well. Two types of wattage, this in my opinion seems to make getting strike water up to temp much faster than the anvil. It sits up higher than the anvil so you can clearly see the volume markings. But my efficiency so far has been about 10-15% better than on the anvil and I think this pump works a little bit better. My anvil pump crapped the bed about five months into owning it, so again interested to see if this will last longer. Integrated pump, big fan of this so far, helps keep your overall foot print down and it’s easy to regulate the flow of the wort during mash. At the time of writing this I’ve only had two brew days on my Mash and Boil. I brew about two times a month, my anvil had a circuit issue about month 7, so time will tell if this lasts longer. My concern is the the longevity of the system. Very inexpensive, a good way to get into electric or all grain. I’ve owned both the anvil foundry and this system so I’ll be referencing the anvil frequently to help compare the two systems. Great system especially when you factor in price. It is recommended to purchase a chiller separately to chill your wort as quickly as possible at the end of the boil for best results. Mash and Boil Series 2 do not include a wort chiller. Only clamp the lid when distilling to avoid steam burns.ĭimensions: 14" W x 28" H (40" H with Sparging Basket) The vented lid should not be clamped while brewing, and should be off when boiling. The included lid is T500 distilling ready and compatible with any of the Still Spirits Turbo 500 condensers. Mash and Boil Series 2 also comes distilling ready. No more watching water boil, simply come home to water ready to brew with! The delayed start timer lets you set your Mash & Boil to turn on and begin heating your sparge water up to 24 hours after setting the timer. Not only does the Mash & Boil make brewing simple, but it also helps save you time as well. The new close-range digital thermostat holds the temperature precisely and can display readings in either Fahrenheit or Celsius and features an adjustable run timer, preset at 3.5 hours for safety. The grain basket has also been designed to sit higher up during sparging to easily see the volume graduations. An internal sparging basket allows you to easily lift the grain out of the boiler, letting you mash and boil in just one vessel. Series 2 Mash and Boils include a new redesigned high flow basket that increases flow up to 150% and helps eliminate stuck sparges. of malt and boils up to 7.5 gallons with hardly any footprint. ![]() ![]() The all-new Brewer's Edge Mash & Boil Series 2 with Pump is a single vessel, electric brewing system that lets you from 8 lbs. ![]()
