Mash tun weight is based upon the published weight from Anvil on their web site,.

For mashing, any volume above the mash basket would result in the possibility of the recirculating wort bypassing the grains,

The vessel holds 6.5 gallons, but when I put in 6 gallons as a test with the mash basket in place, the water level was right at the top of the basket.

The Brewhouse efficiency should always be changed to match your process losses and extraction efficiency,

The numbers are based upon my process, the way I operate it, and my yields.

Cooling Shrinkage (4%): 2.20 in the FB profile, but not if this was based on actual experience or an educated guessĪs this is the profile I uploaded to the FB group, I can shed some light on it.

Recoverable Mash Dead Space: 0.87, this seems reasonable to me as it's 1.17 for the 10 gallon.

5 is probably appropriate, can be adjusted later based on your observations I don't think it's as good as a igloo cooler (plastic =. 12 in FB profile, but since it is a double walled unit I would think something higher like what you have would be appropriate. I have no idea what the actual weight of that unit is.

Mash Tun weight: 5.50 in the FB profile.

Mash Tun Volume: Is 6 gallons in the FB profile, I'm guessing because you'll never be mashing the full volume of the unit.My first few batches on the 10 gallon were around 60% brewhouse, 71% mash, and it's a lot easier to add water than it is to add DME to hit your numbers. Brewhouse Efficiency: Should be lower, 72% would be a good number for Mash efficiency, but is a bit high for brewhouse, should probably be around 66%, but I would go as low as 60% until you get used to the system.I compared this to a profile someone made for the 6.5 on the Anvil Foundry FB group ( ), and here are the differences.
