Sparge Profile For Anvil Foundry

[Killswitch]

None of the Anvil profiles have a sparge option. I set up a mash profile below but I noticed there is a sparge option on the mash tab as well. However I don't have an option to alter it from there. I read you have to somehow update the anvil profile to allow that? Is the way i'm doing the sparge work or should I update through the mash tab on the recipe?

Hey Kevin I know this post is old but i'm trying to setup my Anvil profile for a one gallon sparge. I setup a mash profile to do it and I think that's the way to go (mash in 16qt and added mash step for temperature 170 4qt). Would you suggest setting the profile to sparge for the foundry or just do what I did with the mash profile?

If you are following the Anvil recommendations and always going to keep 1 gallon back to sparge with, then choose a BIAB profile for your mash. In your equipment profile, modify it to add 1 gallon of top off water pre-boil.

This will subtract that...

Sparge options are in the mash tab. What I would do... and what I have done... is create custom mash schedules. I use BIAB profile this tutorial to set them up.

Yup they are in the mash tab but I don't have the option due to my Anvil profile.

Killswitch, don't worry about the sparge. The software does not know what you are doing with that gallon you held back. You can top off your kettle by pouring it through the grains, and it will not know!

There is no way in a standard sparge profile to set a fixed amount for the sparge step. The closest you can come is the way I described; use the BIAB profile which will adjust the mash volume accordingly and allow you to keep back that gallon.

This is about duplicating your process within the constraints of the software.

You can always add another step line to the mash steps which reminds you to pour the gallon of water through the grains if you want the reminder.

I don't understand what option you don't have? The Anvil equipment profile is separate from your mash profiles. Did you watch the video link I provided? To get to the mash profiles in Beersmith find the Profiles option in the menu and you will see profile sections for style, equipment, mash, carbonation, and fermentation. You can tweak and customize. Select the Mash profiles and follow the tutorial video to create a mash schedule to suit your needs.

IoT projects often require tailored approaches to ensure devices communicate seamlessly and meet specific needs. For example, in brewing, internet of things development solutions could enable real-time monitoring and control of the mash temperature or sparge water flow, enhancing precision and efficiency.

Your explanation makes a lot of sense for working around the software's limitations. Using the BIAB profile and customizing the mash steps for reminders is a clever approach. Sometimes, adapting the process to fit the software requires a bit of creativity, but it seems like you've found an efficient way to duplicate your method.
