Hi guys
I am in the process of setting up a microbrewery with a 200L pot herms system and need some expert advice on how best to deal with steam from the kettle during the boil.
Right now I'm looking at the option of a 1mx1m condensate hood fitted to the concrete ceiling above the pot with an extraction vent out the right side of the hood. It's the only option I'm aware of at present but perhaps there is something I'm missing or unaware of that could better suit my situation. A condensate hood is pretty pricey as well so if there are more cost effective ways of dealing with this issue please do suggest.
Ultimately, would a steam condenser be a wiser move in my situation?
Kettle has 2 x 5500w elements
Cheers
