Amazing. Easy to use and easy to clean.

Only issue is a light boil and scorching on the bottom of the vessel after boil so I can only do 30 minute boils without significant change in color of my brews. Takes about 30 minutes to boil from mash out which isn't terrible. Overall can't be upset about the product as it was fairly cheep!

These are great for extract or all grain I own 2 have had them 4 years both and have brewed over 60 times in them no one issue!!

Overall I am happy with the Digimash 110V kettle but there are a few things to know. It does come to a boil but very light. The thermostat on the unit will never read above 208 degrees. I used a different thermostat and the inside wort temperature reached 214 degrees but never went higher than that. Bottom line it did reach a slow boil which will work. It takes a while to reach mash temp and boil (about 45 minutes to 156 and another 45 to reach boil). However this is no worse than using a stovetop (if you can even get 6 gallons to a boil on a stovetop). You really can't do a full water mash. My recipe had 11 1/2 pounds of grain which called for almost 7 1/2 gallons of water. Once I added the grain the water level was at the rim of the kettle. Next time I will just use 1 gallon less water for the mash and add it back prior to the boil. This is really not an issue just something to know before you make a big mess with a recipe with 12+ pounds of grain. The handle for the mash pipe barely fits and will easily come off when you are lifting it out of the kettle making a huge mess. I was able to fix this by bending out the holes on the mash pipe just a little bit (1/16" on each side). This allowed the handle to be much more secure. I am really surprised this was not something identified and fixed by the manufacturer (I am not the only one to have brought this issue up). Lastly don't go by the built in thermometer to know when your wort is cooled. I think the sediment that ends up on top of the false bottom keeps the liquid at the bottom near the thermostat much warmer (30+ degrees) than the rest of the wort. Just use a meat thermometer in the top half. None of the issues I mentioned would keep me from buying this again just some things for future buyers to know. In the end it was great being able to do a all-grain full boil in my kitchen!!

I've been brewing all-grain (cooler and direct fire mash tun) for several years and wanted to brew inside during the cold new England winters. That said my first brew so far was in a 30° garage with a 14lb grain bill. TLDR; Definitely can't handle 18lbs like the spec sheet says. I maxed it out at 13 lbs and 7.75 gallons of strike water. Maybe try a grain bag for more grist. Took 1.5 hours to get strike water to mash temp (153°) in 40° garage meh. Kept a nice rolling boil at 1000w heating. A plus. Surprised it fairly easy to clean except for the malt pip catcher that loops inside. That was covered in malt from maxing out the malt pipe.

So awesome to brew inside! Easy to clean. Add a BIAB for quicker clean up

This was my first time brewing beer and I went all grain too. I loved being able to set the mash temperatures digitally. The equipment worked as it should and I couldn’t have had a smoother brew day. The beer turned out great.

It's a great bare bones all-in-one electric system. I don't need the fancy programming and bells and whistles that come with the more expensive products. In retrospect I would have gotten the version with the pump to recirculate for increased efficiency but I can buy that separately.

Very nice unit at a reasonable price... quick delivery also..

Very capable system for a very good price. After just one brew session indoors in winter I'm very glad I went for it.

I’ve used it twice so far and I love it. Everything from mash to boil in one pot. The insert lifts all the grains out and the double mesh screens filter the majority of the husks out. The great thing is there’s not boil over. I gave it 4 stars because there were no assembly instructions for the insert just plastic bags of parts but if you’re mechanicly inclined you’ll figure it out.

For the money, this is fantastic. It made my brew day easy and already looking forward to brew number two.The wire support for this item seems too large. It overlaps when inserted, which does not seem to be an issue on other similar systems. It also took significant effort to place it in, which discourages me from removing it for cleaning.The bottom screen of the malt pipe is not entirely flat. I am not sure if this was a shipping issue or just poor quality control.The handle for the malt pipe is just strangely designed. It can fall out when the malt pipe isn't completely in.Overall though, it works.

Maintaining a consistent mash temp with the element is a little difficult. I’m going to have to start insulating when mashing. Other than that works well. Time to 163 is about 45 mins.
