As I moved into a 2bdr condo, I finally went ahead and ordered everything to move on from my old propane burner to a single element/controller for my keggle. I've been reading for months about this and now that I planned and bought most of the things needed, I see that I overlooked the most important part: ventilation. I usually brew 10G batches and my boil off rate is usually around 1-1.5G/hr.
Now, I read through all of the "exhaust fans" threads on here but most of them end on a good note with "Oh, I got the space, so I bought a 8", 2000 cfm vortex fan and a custom made 300 sq-ft hood". I don't quite have that luxury.
This is the most powerful/quiet bathroom fan I found that could easily replace the one that's already installed: http://www.homedepot.ca/product/300-cfm-2-sones-blower-fan/959819. Expensive but if it works and pleases the eyes (and ears!) of SWMBO...
Apart from that, anything very temporary that could be easily dismantled and taken out in the shed? My kitchen window is about 10 feet from where I'll brew: simple flexible duct and plastic hood?
If no option would work well, I guess I could brew on my back balcony (about 25-30' from my 220v 30a socket), would I need bigger wire than 10/3 for an ext. cord? (5500w element)
Thanks for your suggestions!
