I thought I would post here since most of the ventilation threads apply to coming indoors with electric brewing as I am doing. Currently I am just hijacking the kitchen like back in the day with a basic extract on the stove. It got me thinking how to remove the moisture if I move to the basement.
I see lots of folks install hoods above the brewing area and that requires a ton of air flow to capture a good portion of the moisture. I was thinking about industrial brewing and how they can be covered and use a port to vent the moisture.
SOOOO...what I was thinking is why not attach a flex hose the BK lid creating the vent for the boil. An additional hole could be created for makeup air to come in. You would still capture the DMS and blow that off and also capture the ,oisture directly and remove that. For the few times you need to remove it to stir, add hops, etc, it should not generate enough moisture to be a problem.
Anyone try this? I would love to hear whether or not anyone has made something like this work.
