Inspected? We don't need no stinking inspections! Seriously we live in a rural area and I doubt the part time building inspector has much experience in home breweries. Besides as a "temporary" installation it doesn't require inspection. At least IMHO. But I was wondering what kind of CFM range hoods have and you answered that question.
Thanks
Temporary installation? "Temporary installation" is a term for structures which have no permanence, such as a haunted house, fun house, bounce house, etc.
Experience inspecting breweries? It takes no brewery experience to determine the venting requirements for either electric or fossil fuel burner. These requirements are already laid out in code.
Building to "code" is what your cognizant authority has determined is the bare minimum to qualifies as reasonably safe.
You said this is in your basement. That's an attached structure with no fire blocking membrane between the proposed ignition source and the living space. You've also got no impermeable gas membrane, nor reasonable amount of ventilation from the exterior, even if your basement windows are above grade.
No, the rural inspector will not drop in on your house and demand to inspect. And neither will I. However, should you manage anything large enough to have to call the fire department, know that the fire investigators will not be ruling in your favor and any homeowners' insurance you may carry is null and void.
Been through the year-long process of claims and rebuilding once already due to unlicensed and shoddy electrical work. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I'll see my way out now. *unsub*
) electric system in my basement. What kind of CFM exhaust do I need to get rid of the excess moisture? I'd like to utilize an unused dryer vent. Is a 4" duct large enough to move enough air?
