Do you have a temps controller on the AC unit? (like an inkbird) With the probe in a thermowell inside the fermenter will help to prevent the ice formation.
I plan too to brew a lot with kveik strain I don't have the possibility to keep the temps low. I have a ss bucket and a heating strap and will try to ferment at high temps. I want to try a clean blond (speudo-lager). I heard about a strain from escarpment lab similar to lutra, Krispy and Krispy...
Little update from my condenser, it seem to work. The controller temps stay around 210F and the water temps output around 140F. No steam around the lid but drip a little between the silicone tube and the lid. I think the problem is comming from bad lid seal and the exhaust tube height too low...
I thought that the 1/4 ice maker tubing supply will do the same thing that the poly tubing, size are near. It doesn't have the push fitting in stock at near store. I will try to make a better seal with silicone tubing, I have 3/8 at home. If it doesn't work, I will order the push connector.

So, reports of my test today, not very good. The sprayer and the height in the tube was good, but the water at the output was cold. The problem didn't come from the steam condenser (I think) but from the lid. The Unibrau (standard edition) came with a lid for the grain basket, this lid is...
Thanks, you confirm what I thought. It give me two options depending what I found at the hardware store. At the start, I never considered the high pressure tube before I seen a setup in the topic after the post of Brundog.
The vinyl tube rated to 30 psi, at the store on the display it showed 60 psi...damn. I have already use this kind of tube on my water filter with no issues, yet...
I will give it a try, if it burst I will go for reinforced vinyl (200 psi).
