Yeah. I also ordered 3,6 and 9 gph nozzles because I can't resist experimenting and trying to use as little water as possible. Also got a 1.5" nipple, I think you said to use that length if going with 1.5" tri clamp version.

Just order all the parts to build a Brundog Condenser using Dockside_Brewings build as a guide. Thanks guys!

Interesting idea! I thought of just notching the kettle lid just enough to accommodate the hop basket arm but afraid it would provide too much leakage for the eductor to work properly.

That's what I was thinking. I'm going to order the parts to build the same one you did and give it a try. I'm interested to hear how you make out with the hop basket. Keep us posted.

I also use a hop basket so I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with to seal around it.

@Dockside_Brewing the pictures of your brewery are incredible, nice work! Unboxing the Nano from CO Brewing My 25 gal kettle has a lip around the outside of it. So the top of the hole will be down approximately 2" from the top of the kettle? Do you guys see any problems with that? I'm not...

The nozzle looks awesome. I’m really interested in how your brew day goes. Without an exhaust fan wonder if your whole house will smell like a brewery?

Wonder if something like this would work? http://www.ventafume.com/overhead-kiln-ventilation-systems-2/ Not sure what they charge but maybe it could be hung from the pulley connection?

Ok thanks, looking forward to a lot of pictures and the results.

Where did you get yours from? Seem like they are hard to find.

How are you connecting the steam condenser to the kettle?

Awesome! Look forward to your results.

Thanks for the link. If I go without installing an exhaust fan this may be a better option. The only thing that concerns me is the way the grain basket has to rest on the kettle rim. To use the Condenser-Boss you need to install a gasket on the rim of the kettle. Maybe it's removable or I...

I was thinking of just draining into a bucket. I will have a sink next to the kettle, just don't think it will be able to gravity drain into it. I'm thinking a five gallon bucket will work.

I'm ready to spend the money as long as it will work. Anyone have any negative opinions about it?

I could just stick the hose up into the open window. I was actually thinking of removing the window and inserting a plexiglass insert with a hole for the vent. But you bring up a good point about making sure there is no differential pressure between the kettle and the vent. There are other...

I'm going to move my 25 gal Down Under into the basement and vent it out the window. I really like the idea of the Colorado Brewing Systems hood. BrunDog do you think I have enough vertical run for it to work properly? It's really only going to be about 3 or 4 feet.

How much ducting do you think is necessary? I’ll be brewing in a basement and venting out a window about five to six feet above the kettle.

Has anyone considered using a condensation hood? Colorado Brewing Systems makes them and Tim said you don't need a fan. If they work it would be nice not having to run a fan during the boil.

I had been crushing at .045. This last batch I changed it to .042. I use an Ss Mash Manifold but I don’t stir during the mash. Use a pound of rice hulls in every batch. Debating on switching back to the stock recirc arm. All my batches have been in the upper 60s for efficiency. I guess it...
