Description

  • The most affordable all-in-one automated all-grain brewing system!
  • Mash grains and boil wort in a single vessel
  • DigiBoil electric kettle automatically maintains mash temperatures with the digital controller
  • Triple heating elements combine for 3500W of power
  • Also available with optional Recirculation Pump Kit!

The DigiMash system represents the best value in electric all-grain brewing you'll find. With a 17-gallon DigiBoil electric kettle and the DigiMash stainless steel mashing accessory pack included, this is by far the most affordable way to get into electric all-grain brewing at the 10-gallon batch level. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the BrewZilla, but it does have everything you need to mash and boil all in one unit. Setting up and using the DigiMash couldn't be easier. 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.

If you're deciding between the DigiMash and the BrewZilla, there are a couple of key differences worth noting. One of our favorite features of the BrewZilla is the programmable mash steps and delayed start, which the DigiMash does not have. You can still step mash by simply raising the temperature manually on the controller, but the automatic steps are a convenient feature if you want to set it and forget it.

The other major difference between the two systems is that the BrewZilla features a built-in pump for recirculating the mash. Recirculation is a great way to improve mash efficiency, but it is far from required for a successful brew day. Using an external pump with the DigiMash is also an option, and one can be integrated for mash recirculation quite easily. Simply connect the ball valve to the inlet of your pump, and then connect the outlet of the pump to our Sparge Arm Assembly.

This model comes with the 65L DigiBoil, which has three built-in heating elements that run off a 220V plug. The elements are 2000w, 1000w and 500w for a combined 3500 watts! The elements can be individually controlled, allowing you to use a single element to gently hold temperatures, or engage all three elements to quickly go from steeping temp to boiling. Temperatures are set and automatically maintained through the digital control panel. Simply set your desired temperature and flip on the heating element(s).

Integrated stainless ball valve comes with a 13mm barb (approx. 1/2"). The barb can be removed to attach fittings with 1/2" FPT, such as our female threaded quick disconnect.

DigiBoil Features:

  • 304 stainless steel construction
  • 17 gallon total capacity
  • Digital temperature control
  • 220V / 20A power
  • NEMA 6-30R plug (4.5 ft. cord)
  • Triple heating element control (2000w, 1000w and 500w)
  • Heating elements are concealed for easy cleaning
  • 304 stainless steel 1/2" ball valve with 13mm barb (approx. 1/2")
  • Stamped-in volume markers (gallons & liters)
  • Glass lid
  • Temperature reads in °F or °C
    • With elements turned off, hold both the +/- buttons to switch between °F or °C
  • External Dimensions: 29" H x 19.5" W (including handles)
  • Internal Dimensions: 20.25" H x 15.75" W
  • ETL Listed

DigiMash Upgrade Includes:

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

How accurate does this hold mash temps? (if I set it to 150 ... how low does it fall before turning on the heat, and how high does it go before shutting off the heat?)
Rick Sutter on Nov 3, 2019
Is there a BeerSmith profile for this? Or does anyone know the Mash Tun Deadspace for it?
David Hane on Mar 15, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I’m currently in the process of converting the plug so I haven’t used it yet. From what I could tell, the measurements go to 15 gallons which would suggest a 2+ gallon loss from the basket and dead space under the basket. Fell free to hit me up again for more questions
Hello. Would it be possible to connect a bazooka screen to the existing ball valve?
Stefan M on Oct 2, 2020
BEST ANSWER: You would need to replace the ball valve to do so. That said, if you are buying this I assume you are looking to use the bazooka tube as more of a hop filter than anything else. There are actually two false bottoms in the kit, one in the malt pipe and one that actually rests on the bottom with feet. If you leave the one in on the bottom I find it does a very good job filtering out hops on its own.
Can I purchase the recirculation pump kit separately?
Brandon M W on May 18, 2022
BEST ANSWER: I do not know,I use my own pumps. I posit that a mobile pump is far more useful. It Can be used for multiple things. But, it must be possible to replace the pump….
How do you remove the mash basket when done with the mash? I am interested in the larger size to do 10 gallon batches, but that would be a very heavy and hot mash basket. I'm concerned about being able to remove it safely. Thank you.
MARK T on Sep 28, 2020
BEST ANSWER: For this purpose we do offer a pulley system which you can use to lift the mash basket when it is full. Otherwise you can ask a friend for some help.
What is the max grain bill this can realistically accommodate?
David M on Dec 9, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi David, the max grain bill is about 30-36 pounds.
Does this not include a wort chiller option?
James S on Nov 20, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi James, correct it does not include a wort chiller if you'd like a wort chiller it would need to be purchased separately.
If you remove the barb from the valve, what kind of threads are there? M/F? NPT/Garden Hose?
Peter S on Nov 1, 2019
BEST ANSWER: The last line of the description says "The barb can be removed to attach 1/2" FPT fittings if desired"

Digiboil 65L is Awesome!!
Absolutely love the Digiboil 65L. Just finish running my first batch of mash through and you can't ask for a better way to mash in and keep at perfect fermenting temperature.

DigiMash affordable, and very effective
So far I've been extremely impressed with my DigiMash. I wired a bar/kitchenette in my basement for a 220V Range/Oven, with the sole intention of using it for brewing beer. When I started researching 220V electric brewing systems I was put off by the extremely high cost of a system such as the GrainFather. I knew I wanted 220V for speed of heating (and because I had the power available), and this system really is FAST. Additionally, I have only done 5 gallon batches, but, if I was going to spend the money on an electric system I really liked the idea of being able to do a 10 gallon batch, or have the option to purchase a still top and distill a very high volume in one run. This was my reasoning for purchasing the 65L vessel. I had some concerns about the "dead space" below the mash basket and my ability to get a decent efficiency on a 5 gallon batch given the amount of dead space. However, this has not proven to be an issue yet. I've done two 5 gallon batches so far with 12-14lb grain bills, and achieved around 75% efficiency each time with a mash and sparge. I did purchase a pump for recirculation during the mash, and I would consider that a must have if you're planning to do a 5 gallon batch in this vessel as I don't think my mash would work near as well without that, given that there is around 4 gallons of dead space below the "malt pipe". With the pump and a valve for flow control I'm extremely satisfied with this system and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get into all grain electric systems, and wants to "go big" and "future proof" themselves a bit, without the insane cost of a GrainFather. Even a brewzilla is almost double the price of this system and I believe the DigiMash is just as good, if you don't mind getting your hands dirty and putting together your own setup with an external pump. The opportunities with this system are endless and I look forward to many more brews with it.

Digi-Mash 65L Best Budget Electric Brew System
White the Brewzilla is a better unit, if you want to save a load of cash and do the settings manually, this one works great. Got this on sale for $299, a $60 pump and you are good to go. I do say that the SS shut-off valve on this unit did not like connecting to the ball lock quick disconnects I use so I had to replace it with a different one.

Going indoors for great beer! (and other spirited activities if desired)
I have been brewing beer for 26 years, dating back to my first "Mr Beer" kit. I have been extract brewing over those years, playing with partial mashes at different times. I have always been satisfied with the beer I have made. I have been a regular customer of Morebeer since 1999. Recently I wanted to move my brewery indoors and purchased a 65L digimash. This allowed me to move into allgrain brewing. I added a pump and whirlpool options. I read up on all grain brewing from John Palmer's book as well as his article on "no sparge" brewing. As mentioned in another rating, there is a significant "dead space" under the mash tube which can complicate spare volumes. I opted to do my first batch as a "no sparge" technic. This required a few tweaks and additions, but i can say that my first 10gl allgrain "Pliny the Elder" is one of the best batches of beer I have ever made! A note: I use my dryer 220 outlet and had to make an adapter to be able to plug it in. In subsequent batches of "not beer" I have also used it as my primary fermenter and it has worked great as a multipurpose kettle. Bottom line is that this has allowed me to move inside and expanded my brewing options for a reasonable price and fairly small footprint.

Brew Kettle
So long as you already have some equipment on hand like a sparge device, pumps, tubing, etcetera, this simple brew kettle with mash basket is great for the price. If you're looking for all equipment included, look elsewhere

Don't know if I love it or hate it...
I bought both sizes of this system (17G and 9G), both 220V.
I have a couple other 5 gallon, 3 vessel A/G electric systems, but wanted to try these out for several reasons :
- Smaller footprint
- Easier cleanup
- The ability to do larger and smaller batches than 5 gallon

For full disclosure... I made a few mods to both system before I ever even plugged them in:
- I removed their drain valve, and installed a 1/2NPT SS valve with QD fitting outside and a whirlpool fitting inside.
- That QD fitting is used to connect the valve to a pump.
- I made a sparge ring that sits on the grain bed so I can recirculate the wort throughout the mash process to maintain an even temp throughout the grain bed.
- I bought the insulation wrap for it.

After using both for a handful of brew days, I've formed some opinions....

Pros:
- Price is unbelievable for what you get.
- Footprint is definitely smaller than 3 vessel systems.
- Operation is VERY simple
- Heat up times are very reasonable.
- Cleanup is a breeze
- You can boil smaller batches since there isn't an exposed heating element you have to keep submerged
- Having the ability to turn on/off the different sized heating elements lets you perfectly maintain as vigorous, or as mild, of a boil as you want.
- Changing mash temperature on the fly works great. Raising to 170 for mashout is quick and painless.

Cons:
- The mash basket ("grain tube" as people call it) sits sooo high off the bottom, that you have to put all your water in just to get enough water to mash. There's literally 2-4 gallons of water UNDER the mash basket. (depending on which size you have) This leaves no water left to sparge with. I'm sure this is whats killing efficiency.
- The large fluctuation in temp control is annoying. Its about a 5 degree swing. That's a pretty big envelope when it comes to mash temp. Seems easily fixed with a little program change??
- Our typical recipe is a 5 gallon batch of about 8% IPA. That grain bill is too much for the small unit..... and it's not enough for the large unit because of the 4 gallons of wasted water under the mash basket.

Overall... it's well built, VERY affordable, and will make beer. We will keep playing around with it. Maybe even find a way to lower the mash basket so we can sparge and see if that helps with efficiency. If we can't get the efficiency up, I'll probably go back to using one of the 3 vessel systems. Or maybe just use these for our HLT and BK, and use our old tried and true mash tuns.
