Clawhammer Supply 10.5 Gallon Electric All-in-One Brewing System, Digital, 120V, BIAB All Grain & Extract Review (2026)

Who this brewing system is for

This system is aimed at homebrewers who want to move into all grain brewing without running a dedicated 240V circuit to their kitchen, garage or patio. Because it operates on a standard 120V household outlet, it opens up all grain brewing to apartment dwellers and anyone who brews indoors where high voltage wiring is not practical. The 10.5 gallon kettle is sized for five gallon finished batches with room for a full volume boil, and it supports both brew in a bag all grain brewing and simpler extract batches, which makes it a flexible choice for a brewer who is still learning mash technique or who wants to alternate between all grain and extract depending on time available.

Build, heating and controls

The kettle body is 304 food grade stainless steel, measuring about 14.5 inches in diameter and standing 17 inches tall without the lid, 19 inches with it. Heating comes from a 1650 watt ultra low watt density element, paired with a 15 amp PID digital controller that includes GFCI protection for safety around water and electricity. Clawhammer states the system takes about 60 minutes to bring ground temperature water up to mash temperature and roughly 45 minutes more to reach a boil, numbers that reflect the physical limit of a 120V, 1650 watt element compared with 240V systems that can push far more wattage. A stainless removable, self draining grain basket handles the BIAB mash, and a built in pump with a 20 plate heat exchanger circulates wort during the mash and chills it after the boil.

Living with the system

The LCD control panel offers manual and automatic modes, so a new brewer can lean on preset mash and boil temperatures while a more experienced one can dial in custom step mashes and temperature offsets. The recirculating pump and self draining basket mean less manual lifting of hot, heavy grain compared with a separate cooler mash tun and kettle setup, and the built in plate chiller cuts out a separate immersion or counterflow chiller purchase. Because everything, mashing, boiling and chilling, happens in one vessel, cleanup is also simpler than juggling a mash tun, boil kettle and chiller across a session. New owners should expect a few brews before the PID settings, pump flow and grain basket placement feel fully dialed in.

Trade-offs against the competition

The main compromise of running on 120V is time. Rivals like the Anvil Foundry offer a 240V option that heats much faster, and 240V systems in general cut total brew day length noticeably compared with this unit's combined 105 minutes of heating from ground water to boil. Against similarly priced 120V or 35 liter competitors from VEVOR and FOHERE, this system's edge is Clawhammer's established brewing focused design and simpler control scheme rather than raw feature count. Brewers who already have a 240V dryer style outlet available in their brew space may prefer a dual voltage unit like the Anvil Foundry for meaningfully shorter brew days, while those without that wiring get a real, if slower, path to all grain brewing here.

Verdict and who should choose differently

With a score of 8.4 out of 10, this Clawhammer Supply system suits brewers who want a genuine all grain upgrade without an electrician's visit, and who are comfortable with a brew day that runs a bit longer than a 240V rig. It is a good match for BIAB brewers moving up from stovetop extract batches and for renters or apartment brewers limited to standard outlets. Anyone who already has 240V available and values shorter heat up times should look at a dual voltage all in one instead, and brewers who want maximum control precision from day one may want to budget time to learn this unit's PID and pump settings before a big brew day.
