Digiboil 3V Nano System - RIMS or Herms - Easy to Build, Clean and Use

[@leehonhoreShutUpAL]

I'm just picturing Gash Slug's Misers look on her face when she comes home and sees one of these setups in their garage 😂

[@kacerhomebeerbrewing]

LOL

[@aorakiboydog]

Ha Ha yes so right

[@KegLand]

Haha. Yeah I would like to see that!

[@grantmanych3665]

Kee. You always out do yourself. Great job to you an your team!

[@KegLand]

Yes! Thank you!

[@garrymcgaw4745]

Yep! What Grant said, always look forward to your new innovations. Cheers mate.

[@KegLand]

Thanks 👍

[@PartyTimeBrewing]

Pretty cool setup for a 3 vessel system. Great overview as always. Cheers!

[@KegLand]

Thanks for that Party Time Brewing. Thanks for doing those video's on the Pill by the way. We really appreciate it. Also genius idea on the BIAB squishing device from the oven racks!

[@PartyTimeBrewing]

@@KegLand no problem, the pill is a great addition to the brewery!

[@korkad204]

Thanks to keg land Australians are the most proudest and professional alcoholics in the world 😂👌

[@6581punk]

Come on, are you going to drink water with your barby? :) What amazed me was that standard beer bottles in Oz seem to be 750ml, that's the size of a wine bottle :D

[@aorakiboydog]

Good on ya Mate

[@KegLand]

Thanks Korka!

[@matthewcurtis6088]

I was confused about the RIMS piece. The heaters? I thought it stood for Recirculating Infusion Mash System. The Brewzilla has a re-circulation arm and silicon tube that pumps the wort over the mash bed and permeates the grains. For a 3V system the pump outlet can recirculate the wort during mashing. No malt pipe required, just false bottom and Mash Tun?

[@thebackyardbrewer5611]

That pump head is awesome! My current pump is a piece of s#$t and that would solve one of my biggest problems. Also I've been wanting to turn my single vessel digiboil into a 2v system for a while now so this is well timed!

[@KegLand]

Glad we could help. Keep up the good work on your channel!

[@asksdub]

The whole setup looks amazing, especially the build in heating elements. And looks like this system can do double batch at the same time, batch 1 in BK and batch 2 in MLT, right?

[@KegLand]

Yes absolutely you can do batches one after the other like that and it would work well for this application.

[@NetworkGeek280]

Great value system. Well done.

[@KegLand]

thanks Steven.

[@shanej2429]

A lid with a built in camlock or sparge / recirculation top would be good.

[@KegLand]

Yes that is a fair point. I will talk to the others about this as I think that would be a nice accessory.

[@kenfowler1980]

Looks very good Kee! sadly came too late for me as i already have a system :) cheers

[@KegLand]

No worries. That is a shame. I guess we really should have done this a lot earlier.

[@kenfowler1980]

@@KegLand dont worry - I almost did it myself before the CP set i have. really like the motor mounts and labels though, i might order them when they are available :) cheers mate

[@MichaelMcGlashan]

Can you just have 2 vessels? Using the hlt as a kettle. Once the hlt has heated water to strike temperature. And it has been transferred to the mash tun. Then it is just sitting there? If I’ve missed something please let me know.

[@Leadership_matters]

I used to have a similar set up in 57L/15 gallon kettles on hellfire burners. I now use my all in one. This system is very ...uh ... cute. It's also very clean. How do you run all 3 vessels without blowing a circuit?

[@KegLand]

You need quite a bit of power to run all 3V. It's easy for people outside of Australia but due to America being 110V you have a significant power limitation. I assume you are in America right?

[@Leadership_matters]

@@KegLand yah. That makes sense. I should have been an electrician so I could wire up the whole house.

[@MittyMagoo]

Fancy new intro!

[@KegLand]

We thought it was time to mix it up. Glad you noticed. The rendering too ages.

[@davidthreechinsbrewing6193]

Well I think I'll build this package instead of 2 x 65L Gen 4 Brewzillas. Extra extender on the mash and 2 on the kettle, should give about 100L Shouldn't it? Are the pump hangers and laser cut labels not available yet Kee?

[@KegLand]

Yes, if you use two extensions you will be approximately 100L boil size. We are putting the pump hangers on the website now so they should be visible very soon.

[@toothpik00]

Great to see, well done 🍻

[@KegLand]

Thanks Pik. We appreciate the support.

[@AndreQuirion]

Any news when the Core 360 Mini Regulator for North America market will be out of the factory?

[@KegLand]

KegLand has two main distributors in America. www.morebeer.com and www.williamsbrwing.com It's best to contact these guys directly and they can give you lead times and approximate arrival dates.

[@jakeleishman9344]

Do you guys sell that waterproof electrical housing that is mounted behind the rocker switch on the pump hanger?

[@KegLand]

Sorry we do not sell this at the moment.

[@armament57]

Nice ideas for Modify my gear. What is the SKUs of the camlock that you connect with the tap? Thank you

[@KegLand]

Hey Nutt. I think you mean this part: www.kegland.com.au/ss-camlock-type-a-male-x-1-2inch-bsp-female-603.html

[@kacerhomebeerbrewing]

Nice work. Cheers!

[@KegLand]

Thanks Kacer. Keep up the good work on your channel. Look forward to tasting some of your beers one day!

[@kacerhomebeerbrewing]

It will probably happen coz youngest daughter is moving to Mel to study some nonsense at Monash or so :-). Cheers to all KL guys!

[@88Nikoli]

You've got that totally wrong with the pump , 3.5 m of head means it can pump up hill 3.5 m at the diameter of the outlet so not much weight at all even if you were correct about suction ,which you aren't either no such thing as suction only vacuum which lowers pressure and the higher atmospheric will push fluid down , but these aren't vacuum pumps anyway they are only gravity fed and if your grain bed is blocked the impeller will just spin ( just like an electric whisk in a cup of water ) and pumping will cease !

[@KegLand]

It might be worth looking at these pictures here: cdn.homebrewtalk.com/data/attach/502/502618-fb1.JPG We see this type of thing happen frequently and have seen many false bottoms absolutely collapse due to suction from the pump.

[@jeremym105]

The elements on these digiboil are they controllable like the brewzilla so that you don't overshoot your mash steps? i.e. Ramp down the power as it gets to temp

[@KegLand]

You need a power controller in additon to the digiboil to control the element power. You have a couple switches on the digiboil but this controller gives you more ability to control the power: www.kegland.com.au/2400w-power-station-240v-power-controller.html

[@jeremym105]

@@KegLand According to the video you need 15A for the digiboil and the power controller you linked is not meant for 15A

[@PetraKann]

Where did you get the 400kg ? 3.4m equates to 33,320 Pa Each digiboil contains 65L or about 65Kg of liquid.

[@KegLand]

The diameter of the 65L Digiboil (and therefore the valse bottom) is almost 40cm in diameter. Although centrifugal pumps are generally not designed for good suction, once they are fully primed they can suck almost as hard as they can push so if you look at the 40cm diameter and 3.4m head this is enough suction to crush many of the weaker false bottom designs. For instance we have the 30cm Domed false bottom which is a cheap alternative and the pump can crush this false bottom if you get a stuck mash ontop of this one for this reason

[@PetraKann]

@@KegLand The diameter is not relevant to the head which is only dependent on the height of fluid above the suction inlet of the pump and the density of the fluid (and the gravitational force which is a constant). A lake with 63 Trillion litres of water in it but has a maximum depth of 1 m, will have the same head at the bottom as a back yard swimming pool with 1m depth. I still don't know where the 400 kg figure comes from. Engineers need the calculations as well as the equations used.

[@sammylifvendahl8864]

When are the center-drain come to the Digiboil?

[@KegLand]

This might happen next year (2023)

[@marciliojames]

Gostei dessa pá

[@KegLand]

Thanks!

[@hobojoe605]

Would a 10w to 15w splitter box work for enough power?

[@KegLand]

Yes you can do that too. If you do that then you just have to keep one of the elements turned off so you are not drawing above 2400watts. You also could technically disconnect the element wiring and replace the unit with a 10amp cord too.

[@NykolaiMcherron]

Ya'll are going to make me go bankrupt...

[@KegLand]

haha, but think of all that money you are saving on purchasing beer!

[@NykolaiMcherron]

@@KegLand Ahhh, the homebrewers fallacy! I'm saving so much on beer (as long as you don't include the equipment ;)) Keep up the awesome work!

[@coxy1016]

Does that false bottom fit the 30L brewzillas?

[@KegLand]

Yes definitely. these are the same diameter so they fit fine.

[@grantmanych3665]

just one thing i noticed. No chiller? sorta need that

[@6581punk]

I guess that's because people each have their own preferences for cooling. Some will probably transfer to a unitank and cool it in that.

[@KegLand]

Yes that is is it 6581punk. Too many different chilling options so we thought it's best to allow customers to purchase that separately.

[@stevenmcmaster]

where is the 35L x2 with 65L boil version?

[@KegLand]

Yes that would be easy to do with a similar type of setup.

[@GenusBrewing]

Dibs!

[@KegLand]

Thanks for the support!

[@davidm3997]

Are those false bottoms compatible with the Brewzillas?

[@KegLand]

Yes you can use these on the BrewZillls units too as they are the same diameter body.

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

Man i really don't understand why you cant do all of this with one vessel. Seems like complete overcomplication.

[@azanda3896]

I think you said is very nice, Could you give me your facebook to know more about this product?
