I eventually will be running an all grain electric setup in the workshop area of my barn and will need to get the steam out somehow. Given the availability of 30" standard range hoods on craigslist, I was considering purchasing a couple of them and putting them together to make a steam hood...

That looks amazing! Good work. I second Sparky's question, how are you cutting the holes? Knockout punch or holesaw/stepbit?

they also do sales on e-bay, so if youre looking to buy a small qty from them and the shipping is too much on their website (avg i've seen is starting at $4.95), you can snag a few varieties for $1/oz shipped. Otherwise, their shipping rates aren't all bad esp. when you take into acct the...

DIY CFC fittings

I'll look at some plastic ones. Metal is a little more work and money for sure. Funny you should mention those pots. I just saw a thread about them today! Definitely will look into them.

How does one whirlpool? I'll be brewing on sunday and that could help with using the scrubbie.

I was also skeptical, but if you look at the mesh it creates, it appears it would work well. If you want to spend more money, I suggest you get a Hop Stopper. I'll eventually upgrade to one once i have money for it. Hop stopper...

I should also add that if you don't go the quick disconnect route, you'll need a barb on the end of the ball valve with about 3 ft of hose in order to create a siphon effect when using a pickup tube, otherwise it'll stop picking up liquid when levels go below the valve.
