Hi there,
I first started extract brewing back in January and I am now planning on going all grain with a two vessel RIMS system. Spike Brewing is customizing both my 20 gallon BK and MT and my electrician will hopefully be installing a 14-30R GFCI protected soon.
After reading various posts about humidity, many people in other parts of the country actually welcome more humidity in their homes in the winter months. I need advice on whether one would think I would have problems with humidity at some point and if so, suggestions on how to mitigate it.
My brew room will be in my game room. The size is about 15' x 21' ad 9.5' in height. It has two A/C vents blowing toward sliding glass doors. Where I live in Arizona, the outside humidity averages 22% in May and rises to 42% in July. The indoor humidity level is on average about 10% higher than outside.
I anticipate my boil off rate will be 1.9 gallons per hour. Initially, I was thinking if it got way too humid, I would lower the A/C temp, crack open the sliding glass doors and use a couple of large fans to blow air out. My wife suggested buying a dehumidifier.
So, what do you all think? Am I missing something?
Thanks
