Grainfather venting

[wader98]

Just wanting to see what most of the indoor brewers are using for ventilation? Currently I brew in the basement bathroom ( I know not the best option) anyways I’m thinking of installing a 200cfm 4” inline fan in my storage room along with a utility tub for the chiller and cleaning.

I know the boil off for the grainfather is only about 2 litres so do I even bother with the inline fan or just have my dehumidifier run while boiling?

Get the fan. You would be surprised how much moisture 2L of boil off produces. I bought a 6", 240CFM inline fan that I pop into the basement window right above my RoboBrew. I originally planned to put in a small hood but this works just fine.

I just use a table fan in a very close window.

Had the fan so $0.

Same.

Did our first outdoor brew of 2020 this Sunday. Glorious.

I have a window fan that I set on exhaust. Works great.

yeah I would do the fan but there are no windows in my brewing room so I think it will opt for the inline fan. Thanks for the feedback.

I use my grainfather in the kitchen so just open the window, have another window on the other side of the house that causes a decent cross breeze
