I'm vaccilating between building my own or just buying an exhaust hood for the brew house. Home Depot has a 42" wide NuTone for $252 delivered. The specs are:
I have an electric HLT with a lid, so there is not much steam from that, but I will be mashing in a 15 gallon Blichmann Boilermaker and boiling in a 20 gallon Blingmann. The question is will this 210 CFM NuTone hood do the job when boiling 15 gallons of wort for 90 minutes? 42" is wide enough to cover both kettles. I will have two fresh air return vents near the floor, one on either side of the brew rig.
Thoughts anyone?
