    Description

    Please note: This kit is intended for use with Gen 1 35L DigiBoils (BE501 / BE502). It has a slightly larger wire support ring that may not fit Gen 2 DigiBoils (BE515 / BE516). See related product for the Gen 2 DigiMash Upgrade Kit.

    Ready to upgrade your DigiBoil into a DigiMash? With the DigiMash upgrade kit you can convert the DigiBoil into a full blown electric all-in-one system. Includes false bottom, malt pipe with bottom screen, wire support, and malt pipe handle. Simply place the false bottom inside the kettle and install the malt pipe, fill with water and heat to your desired strike temperature, then add your grain and set your desired mash temperature on the digital controller. Once your mash is complete, lift up the malt pipe, drain the wort and sparge, then remove the malt pipe and proceed to boil.

    Includes:

    • False bottom
    • Malt pipe
    • Wire support
    • Malt pipe handle
    • Malt pipe bottom screen

    Installation & Use:

    • Place the false bottom inside the kettle
    • Install the wire support in the channel located at the top of the kettle
    • Place the mesh screen inside the malt pipe and attach the handle
    • Lower the malt pipe into the kettle so it rests on the wire support
    • Fill with strike water and heat to desired strike temperature
    • When desired temperature is reached, add grain and stir until well mixed
    • When your mash is complete, use the handle to lift out malt pipe and rotate 90° so the malt pipe feet sit on the wire support
    • Allow the wort to drain into the kettle and sparge the grain with warm water (165-175°F)
    • When you're done collecting your wort, remove the malt pipe and proceed to boil

    Please note: only the 500-watt element should be used to increase mash temperatures when the Malt Pipe is in place. Using the higher watt element(s) with the Malt Pipe inserted may cause scorching of the grain.

        Will this fit the Mash-N-brew electric kettle?

        MoreBeer!

        If you mean Mash and Boil yes it will fit perfectly

        Just got this no instructions where does the eye hook go?

        MoreBeer!

        It goes on the first false bottom. At first it doesn't look like it has the clearance. It winds up being the "pull tab" used to remove the bottom perforated plate.

        MoreBeer!

        That eye get attached to the center hole of the bottom" strainer plate " Then you can remove the plate easier ! Enter

        MoreBeer!

        The only thing I've ever used it for is to help remove the false bottom. I see no other function for it. I actually quit using the false bottom too. Unless you're using a bag instead of the malt pipe or tossing whole leaf hops into the boil It doesn't serve any useful function .

        MoreBeer!

        I believe it's supposed to go on the bottom mesh with the feet so it's easier to remove from the digiboil. I have not been using it.

        MoreBeer!

        The grain tube (malt pipe basket etc) has a hole in each side right at the top . The hook slips into them so you can lift it out

        How high does the false bottom raise the Malt Pipe from the bottom of the kettle to clear the top of the spigot?

        MoreBeer!

        The Digiboil itself comes with a false bottom thats already about 1 1/2" off the bottom. The bottom of the Malt pipe hangs about 3 1/2" from the bottom (or about 2" above the existing false bottom) This equates to about 1.75 gallons of water UNDER the malt pipe while mashing. The malt pipe is about 1" smaller diameter as well. Add up all the water not in contact with the grains and you pretty much have to mash at full volume to keep the grains under water. (can't sparge much since you're mashing at almost full volume) This results in a pretty low efficiency in my experience. I still like to use it sometimes because of its simplicity and ease of cleaning/use.... just don't expect to make any high gravity beers with it.

        MoreBeer!

        Yes it clears the spigot. Easy to use and clean

        MoreBeer!

        The ridge around the top of malt pipe sits on the bracket (included with the mash kit) at the top of the Digiboil the bottom of the malt pipe does not sit on the false bottom. There is about 1.7 gallons of space between the bottom of the malt pipe and the bottom of the Digiboil.

        MoreBeer!

        The height of the false bottom is 1 1/2 inches. The bottom of the malt pipe sits about 3 1/4 inches from the bottom of the vessel which is raised somewhat in the center of the bottom. So there is a gap between the false bottom and the lower end of the malt pipe. The malt pipe does not sit on the false bottom it rests on it's top flange on the wire insert at the top of the Digiboil. Clearance between the false bottom to the top of the spigot assembly is about 1/4 to 3/8 inch.

        MoreBeer!

        False bottom legs raise it 1 3/8" which allows it to sit right at the top of spigot...

        MoreBeer!

        The bottom of the malt pipe is 3 5/8" off of the bottom of the kettle. It is supported by the wire support and doesn't contact the false bottom.

        Is this upgrade kit something that Kegland released or is it an outside company? Just wondering as I don't see any info on it on Kegland's website.

        MoreBeer!

        This is an upgrade kit we designed in collaboration with Kegland. It is exclusively sold by us.

        I'm considering getting this and using a pump to recirculate. Does this have an overflow similar to the robobrew?

        MoreBeer!

        No the malt pipe doesn't have the overflow pipe.
