I’m curious to know if anyone else has experienced this… I’ve been brewing for about the last three years on an Anvil Foundry. I’ve got the pump so I can both recirculate the mash as well as recirculate to whirlpool or while chilling. But for some reason lately I’ve been feeling less inclined to brew on it, and have been strangely feeling nostalgic about the old days of mashing in a 10 gallon Home Depot cooler with a manifold I built myself based out of John Palmer’s ‘How to Brew’. Vorlaufing with a large pitcher, and heating sparge water on the stove. That sort of stuff. Even though it’s more time and labor intensive in some ways, I’m sort of missing the hands-on “lo-fi” brew days of old.
Is there anyone else who’s gone away from the high tech gear and back to the old school basic setup? Just curious.
Cheers!
