Hi guys,
I'm looking for some ideas for ventilation for my basement electric brewery. I have a window in my brewing area about two feet from the boil kettle. Some say a fan in the window exhausting air and a second fan blowing condensate from the boil towards it is plenty. Two box fans = $30.
Others say an inline fan with at least 300 cfm is needed. Like the following.

What are your experiences?
How would I install the inline fan? Do I then have to purchase a separate hood? Or just put up some ducting and angle the fan down towards my boil?
I'm guessing I'll just be venting out of the nearby window no matter which solution I'm going with.
Ideas and experiences with this are greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
