I want to start brewing in my basement. My pot will sit directly below a window and my plan is to make a diy hood like others have done here on the forum and exhaust directly out the window. I have a 120v Boilcoil that I use for 2-3 gallon batches and I am eyeing up a 500 CFM fan for the exahust that I will only be using during the boil.
I came across this webpage in an older post when researching makeup air: http://structuretech1.com/how-to-determine-if-makeup-air-is-required/
I am confused about the following: Which column on this form would I use to ballpark the makeup air requirement? I have a direct vent furnace and an atmospherically vented water heater? Do I use two separate columns (A and C) and then sum the house "infiltration" estimate? I do have CO detectors on every floor of my house but I don't want to leave anything to chance. Any guidance here would be welcomed.
