I have an anvil foundry 10.5 and there’s a 16lb grain limit on those. I’ve seen other posts about doing a double mash to get high abv beers where you mash, dump into a holding kettle, then mash again and combine. This just seems like a lot of work and a lot of time to commit to two mashes.
So I was wondering if anyone has tried or if it makes sense to have a secondary mash ton cooler that’s placed higher than the anvil then use a pump to pump from the bottom of the anvil to the cooler mashton then gravity feed to the anvil. That way you could have grain in both the anvil and cooler.
The idea is if you can manage your flow rate you could affectively increase your mash size and do both mashes in one mash for a high abv beer.
Does this make sense?
I don’t want to commit to making a cooler mash ton if it’s not going to work. But I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Cause it should just act as a extension to the anvil right?
