Sous Vide Steak with a Brew Kettle

Dan Hansen • Jun 05, 2020

Bonus Episode

Today I’m going to sous vide an 8oz filet with my Anvil Foundry 6.5 gallon brewing system. Sous vide is french for ‘under vacuum’ and is a cooking technique that involves low temperatures and extended cooking times. This method results in less of a gradient of doneness. Almost 100% of the steak is cooked to the same doneness and the sear leaves a very thin ring around the meat.


If you have a brewing system like the Anvil Foundry, it’s likely you have everything you need to sous vide. Ultimately, it’s up to you to choose the perfect cooking temperature for your steaks but remember that systems like the Anvil Foundry will overshoot the target temperature by 2 or 3 degrees periodically during the cook time.


Now, let’s make some steak!

Wild American Sour

By Dan Hansen • 16 Feb, 2021
Today I’m brewing a Wild American Sour. This is the holy grail for me. The sharp, funky aroma, the initial shock of sour, and the insane complexity. I just love this style. Wild sours are characterized by the yeast and bacteria that produces them. In addition to brewer’s yeast they also contain Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus. And these funky bugs take a long time to do their work. Some beers in this style age for years. I’m stoked to give it a shot. Let’s make some beer!

Session Stout

By Dan Hansen • 16 Dec, 2020
In the last episode of Hops & Gnarly season two, I’m making a sessionable stout. Imperial Stouts are cool and all but today I’m shooting for a 4.5% ABV stout that packs just as much flavor and complexity as a full-strength alternative. It’s gonna need a full body, big chocolate aromas, and sweet bready and roasted coffee flavors. Now, let’s make some beer.

Philly Sour Gingerbread Gose

By Dan Hansen • 02 Dec, 2020
This week I’m taking on a bit of a challenge and I’m brewing a Philly Sour Gingerbread Gose. This one’s maybe a little out there but I think it just might work. This will be my first time using Lallemand’s Philly Sour yeast and I’m shooting for flavors like molasses, cinnamon, and clove paired with a salt and coriander infused sour. Now let’s make some beer!
