Steam Extraction

[barneey]

For my 3V system I have a dedicated steam extraction system.

However when using a BM unit with the lid off, I have noticed that an open door / window + desk style fan is more than enough for steam management.

I not using a jacket on the BM.

Just wondered what others are using?

that will be good if it is the same for me,with my biab system I brew in my workshop which is all concrete no windows and even with the door open and a 204 cfm fan extracting, the ceiling and the fan is dripping with water by the end of boil

Errrrr...... If its not raining why not put your BIAB pot on a table just outside the shed door? Easy cost free and no more condensation problems.

If pockets are deep why not build an extract hood? There are special low voltage fans for use in shower cubicles they don't mind the wet

What if you live in a flat and have no balcony/garden?

because my pot requires a 20 amp socket and the only one is in the workshop and I dont want to try to lift 50-60 litres of wort in the fermenter (yes I know I could put it in a bucket and transfer to fermenter like that 15 litres at a time).

I do that in a sealed container and shake it up on the way to the fermenter, it's good exercise
