Ok, so ia m closing in on finishing this frigin brewery that has taken months to build.
I am having trouble with the ventilation for my basement electric brewery. right now i have a really nice kenmore three speed range hood with lights, the whole nine yards. The range is about 36-42 inches from the top of the boil kettle, and the BK is centered under the range.
The problem is that, on high speed:
1) the vent does not suck up all the steam
2) after about twenty minutes of boiling, water that has condensed on the fan grill drips down into the BK.
Im thinking that i need more sucking power.
What do you guys think? I can't really lower the range hood.
What about a squirrel cage blower?
I need something that isn't too expensive
