As much as I would love to have a 15 gallon batch 3 vessel system, I'm restrained by not have enough room. I currently have a Anvil foundry and love it but its coming up on 2 years now and looking to expand to 10 gallon batches. I love the fact all these manufactures are creating these compact systems. Can't wait to see the cost and xmas is coming right around the corner. 8) Thanks for showing this off.

Welcome!! 👍🍻

This reminds me of a number of ebiab systems out there (Brau Supply; Claw Hammer; Brew Boss), but with a number of Blichmann innovations and possible opportunities for those of us ebiab users to upgrade our systems. One challenge that I have had with a 10gal kettle is to get a 5.5gal batch with a higher grain bill (no sparge batches preferred). I have often thought that a 15gal kettle would be perfect. I’m interested in learning the realistic maximums for grain bill to produce 5.5gal into the fermenter. Thanks for your exciting video, Brian. Well done!

Cool! Really interested in this system. It looks to have a bunch of differentiating features… certainly not another me too biab system. The Brewboss uses that central return as well, and I played around with a similar approach with my somewhat retired eBIAB system. Great video again!

I agree, Brian, that is an interesting way to mash by using a vertical pipe with holes dotted through it.

I looked at the Anvil when it was announced but it’s twice the capacity I’d like to have. I’ve seen your DIY e-kettle along with others but was hoping for a commercial system some day. Unfortunately I understand the 1 gallon market is relatively small so not likely to happen. If I’ve missed some options, I’d love to know about them. If I want to go to an ebrew system I may just need to increase my batch size

If the probe is at the 4 g mark, then you have to brew 4G fermentor batch. Yes you can brew less but you’ll need a different temp probe which is suspended from the top to work with the commander You also have to order a custom built whrilpool arm to work on a smaller volume.

Good looking system. Any word on whether the basket will be available separately for those of us who already have a boilcoil?

Yes the insert unscrews and there are no parts you can't access. They are really easy to clean probably more sanitary than butterfly valves. 👍🍻 Welcome Braj!!

If I remember correctly, the 10 gal BoilCoil has a minimum batch size of 3 gal. Thus, placing the thermometer at that in that volume range makes sense. This system might be nice with 7.5 gal kettle for small 2.5-3 gal batches. Outside of that, I think I rather spend a little more money for the regular BrewEasy.

Isn't dry grain in the basket a terrible way to measure how much it'll be able to hold during a brew day?
