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.

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: 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.
