Q: Can I make a 2.5 gal batch in
the 10.5 gal Foundry?
A: Yes, however there are a couple
small sacrifices. The first is that there may not be enough grain to
cover the side perforations on the grain basket. This will allow
recirculating wort to bypass the grain bed and your wort will not clarify as it
would with a deeper grain bed. In addition, you may experience a slightly
lower mash efficiency.
Q: Will a Still Spirits Copper Alembic Dome Top fit on the Foundry?
A: No, it is a smaller diameter.
