Great video series. I am also in the process of converting a (Columbus) basement to my indoor electric brewery and was wondering how you are handling make-up air with you vent/hood? My brewing area is near our furnace and hot water heater and I have a CO monitor, but am looking for ideas for...
Bottoms Up, I've been on this forum for a number of years and this may be the most comprehensive write up of a brewing process that I've ever read. Many thanks to you and CSI for taking the time to consolidate all of this information. I've brewed this twice and it is a wonderful beer.
