Question for you electric indoor brewers: What size (CFM) range hood or bathroom ceiling fan do you use?
My electric setup is in a basement coldroom that is very small: 5.6' wide, 11' long, 7' high. 60 sq feet of floor space, 430 cubic feet of air. There are two 4" diameter vents to the outside of the house. One will be used for air intake, the other will be attached to a bathroom ceiling fan directly above the boil kettle to exhaust to outside. It's only a 4 foot distance without bends so any CFM drop due to resistance should be minimal.
100 CFM enough? 200 CFM? More? Without actually doing a 10-15 gallon full wort boil for an hour or two, I have no idea what I'll need. The room has a solid core door between it and the rest of the house.
