That's what I will try, because that is where my ice issue is. It's just the lower 1/3 of the keezer.

I have a fan running at the top circulating air and I have an EvaDry, but still having issues. I may need to reseal, or try the fan lower to circulate in the obviously colder areas better.

Question to throw out for some feedback....I can't seem to keep my keezer from icing up on the inside. My temp is set to around 40F with my temp controller, but inevitably I end up with a very thick wall of ice inside the keezer and I can't seem to figure out what is causing this. Any thoughts...

I have the 240...I guess the part I need to figure out how to use is the power control to moderate power to the unit in order to hold temps.

I need some help here...just switched over to electric. I am using a 10gal Blichmann kettle with the Boil Coil and a Blichmann Electric TOP to control. I tried my first go at things yesterday with an extract batch and had all kinds of problems. I have the temp sensor installed in the boil pot...

Has anyone figured a way to make the height adjustable? I have been looking into the Blichmann Breweasy and if I do, I would want the hood up and out of the way until I was ready for the boil, and then ideally I could pull it down over the BK for the boil.

No windows in this unfinished section of the basement, only an exterior door. That said, the brew section may ultimately get framed in so the short term solution of using the door for makeup air may be exactly that, short term.

I have plunged.... Stainless Steel Bowl http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KYR0ZF4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 6" VenTech Inline Fan http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YXDQZU/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 VenTech Variable Speed Control...

To OP, are you still happy with the 4" fan, or would you do 6" looking back? Ready to pull the trigger!

Have you expereinced much condensation on this setup, or any issues with water dripping down into kettle from the tote? What size fan are you running and are you doing anything for makeup air?

To clarify, I am going to do the salad bowl w/ fan to vent, but just rely on the door for makeup air.

I appreciate all of the feedback...I tend to over analyze things to the point of paralysis sometimes! I am very confortable with what I know, but cautious when I don't. The unfinished area I will brew in has a door to the outside, and I feel that as long as I leave that door ajar during the...

Is this still available? How old is it, and are there any issues with operation, etc?

I am actually leaning towards replicating the stainless steel bowl setup with an inline fan, but am trying to not overdo it. I don't fully understand how to determine the need for makeup air, and given that I will likely only run any fan at around 300 cfm, I am trying to avoid drilling 2 holes...

How did you determine your air makeup requirement. It is this piece that has me puzzled and reluctant to pull the trigger. I only need about 220 cfm based on wattage of my boil coil.

Let me just ask the question...given that I am doing electric and will be doing 60 min, 5 gallon boils...do I NEED to vent? Assuming I am not concerned about the heat, could I manage the humidity with a dehumidifier in the brew area?

HVAC guy was here today for something else...confirmed that HVAC and Water Heater pull ambient air and vent to outside. That said, given that basement is large and utilities are in unfinished area on other side of basement, he didn't seem to think makeup air was an issue...there is 3,000 sq ft...

So if both my furnace and hot water heater are direct vent to the outside, I should be OK without makeup air?

Did you do anything for makeup air? I just setup an electric brew pot in my new house in a 1000 sq ft unfinished section and am trying to figure out ventilation. I definitely want to go this route, but am concerned I might need more than one new hole in my new house.

I am going electric...using Blichmann with boil coil and will be brewing 5g batches in a 10g pot. I will be brewing in an unfinished section in my basement and am looking for reasonably priced ventilation options / recommendations. Cheers!!
