Will this fit the Mash-N-brew electric kettle?
If you mean Mash and Boil yes it will fit perfectly
Just got this no instructions where does the eye hook go?
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.
That eye get attached to the center hole of the bottom" strainer plate " Then you can remove the plate easier ! Enter
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 .
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.
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?
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.
Yes it clears the spigot. Easy to use and clean
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.
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.
False bottom legs raise it 1 3/8" which allows it to sit right at the top of spigot...
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.
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?
No the malt pipe doesn't have the overflow pipe.
