The KegLand Gen 2 Digiboil is an 8 gallon electric boiling pot with precise digital control. This 110 volt Digiboil features 1500 watts of total power, selectable with both a 1000 watt and 500 watt switch. Perfect for brewing, distilling, sous vide cooking, and more. Keep in mind that although it has an 8 gallon capacity, we recommend you boil no more than 6.5 gallons, to allow head space to prevent damaging boil overs. Now with a see through glass lid.
The digital display can be set to any temperature between 32° and 212° F, and hold that temperature to plus or minus 5 degrees. The valve features standard 1/2" threads, so you can fit female NPT 1/2" accessories such as cam lock fittings to the spigot for attaching chillers and other accessories. 27" tall, 12" wide. Interior dimensions: 19" tall, 11¾" wide.
This unit draws a hefty 15 amps, and must be plugged into a dedicated GGCI outlet for safety. The unit should not be submersed in water.
When brewing with malt extract, you will need to get your water boiling, then shut off the heat momentarily while you stir the extract in to dissolve. This eliminates the extract from burning on the bottom, and prevents the thermostat protective circuit from throwing an error. As soon as the extract is dissolved, turn back on the heat and brew.
Note: The Digiboil is primarily designed for boiling, distilling, and heating sparge water. It is not designed for Brew In Bag or mashing directly in the unit. If you suspend a large grain bag in the unit or add mash directly to the unit, it will throw a thermal protection error, because the grain or the grain bag will cover the thermostat, which will then shut off the heating element.

Q: Will the mash and boil lid fit the digiboil? What about the malt pipe?
A: The Mash & Boil lid or malt pipe will not fit the Digiboil. If you want a malt pipe for your Digiboil, you need the Digiboil 35 liter Mash Upgrade item C63.

Q: I'm interested in using this to boil sap to make maple syrup. Has anyone used this successfully for that application
A: There are several postings on the web with people saying this item, with it's concealed heating element, is great for boiling down sap to make maple syrup. That being said, we have no personal experience using it for that purpose.

Q: How many litres of alcohol can you get from a run through the digiboil?
A: If you start with a fermented wash that is say 25 liters of 14% alcohol, and use a distilling lid and head, you can get 3 liters plus.

Q: For small batch, what is the minimum amount of water you need to use?
A: I wouldn't recommend letting the volume of liquid to get under one gallon to keep the unit from tripping the thermostat protective circuit and throwing an error.

Q: Since this does have an internal timer, would an external timer work on this so the SPARGE water is up to temp by the time I get out of bed? If so what would be the recorded unit?
A: I don't think an external timer will work with the Digiboil as it won't remember the temperature when you turn it off. So when the timer turns the Digiboil on you would still need to set the temperature. If you only want to heat sparge water, our sparge water heater (L89) is preset at 168°F. Also our Mash and Boil (B27) has a built in timer.
Maple 🍁 Syrup
We purchased this unit as a higher capacity urn for bottling maple syrup. It needs to be bottled between 180-190F. Works great
DigiBoil
I have only used it once so far, but so far so good. It heats up quickly, and maintains a boil with no issues. Temperature is right on the money and a 5 degree swing is not that bad. Williams brewing is quick with shipping and their pricing is real competitive. I have only ordered from them twice, but I already have more items in my cart.
Great!
I've been using a Digiboil for a few years now and have made some really good beers. In fact this is what I made my first 5 gallon batch from. Being able to acheive a full boil makes it ideal. I like it so much I just bought a second one at a incredible on sale price from Willams. I plan on using it as a HLT. Great!
Solid
I used this for my sparge water heater. I begun by filling with 6 gallons of hot tap water, about 140 degrees. Flipping both wattage switches on with a total of 1500 watts, I reached 170 degrees in about 30 minutes. The temperature reading on the Digiboil was off by 7 degrees. In other words, the actual temp. was 163 degrees, not 170. I'm not sure if I am able to calibrate the temp gage. I couldn't find anything in the directions that would lead me to believe this was possible. A bit disappointed. This is pretty crucial in brewing. Other than the temperature issue I found no problems.
Perfect
It’s sturdy, dependable and the temperature is always right! Great product!
