BBrianBoogie is the man with the wiring skills on this job. Couldn't have gotten this far without him. We still need to wire in the RTD's so that and some sodder on a couple of spots and it should be go to go

Re: Electric Brewery Plan
Going to have this thing up and running in some capacity on the weekend, looking forward to actually brewing on it. Been a long time coming, thanks to all those who helped out along the way. I'll post some pics of a brew session this w/e.

Re: Electric Brewery Plan
Ghetto as fuck right now trying out the recommnedation for a range hood by x, seems to be doing the trick. i'll have to build a stand for it though.

Re: Electric Brewery Plan
haha, probably where I'll be sleeping most of the time! I'm getting some condensation build up on the exhaust but I figure it's cause it's pretty close. RT do you get any in your setup?RubberToe wrote:The ultimate bedroom.

Re: Electric Brewery Plan
Yep but my exhaust is longer than it should be. I keep it under control with a couple of folded hand towels (one under my inline fan) but I'm about to rebuild my hood to make it better.
I don't get condensation on my hood at all, just in the duct upstream of it.

Re: Electric Brewery Plan
Guessing you are getting the condensation on the hood due to the short run of duct, assuming you are going straight out the Window. Other than that, how does your brew day go?

Re: Electric Brewery Plan
Brew day is gong pretty good. The system will work very well once I work out these kinks. So if the duck run was longer it would be more efficient?

Re: Electric Brewery Plan
I wouldn't say more efficient. Would just move where you get condensation! Some mechanical guys may have some better ideas?

I like what you've done with the place... is that your bedroom?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Re: Electric Brewery Plan
Got it at Costco for $100. 420cfm, works great some condensation coming back in but that's probably due to my height restriction. If you are in a DYI mood, i have a ss bbq hood and another 450 cfm centrifugal fan

How much for the fan? I have a friend who works in the sheet metal business and could likely bend me a hood.

We will chat. I'd like to take a look at the fan and see how it hooks up. Any idea of the brand/model of the fan?LiverDance wrote:How does 1 growler of RB galaxy smash sound?
