Looking forward to seeing it Geoff, in fact heading over to Streaky early March, with a bit of luck I might catch up for a beer.

I have to brew in my cellar so with the 20L BM only having a 2Kw element I decided that the Thermo jacket was a must with the Baltic temperatures we enjoy in the UK
Again, as I brew in my cellar I needed an effective method of removing the steam. I found that cooker hoods were a bit hit and miss so I fitted an extractor fan and I connect the copper hood to it with a standard 4" flexi hose which is long enough to create a dip which collects the condensation.
Dicko wrote:Hi swigginpig,
Would it be possible for you to take a pic of the underside of the copper hood and of the rubber that I believe comes with it?
As per above posts I am looking to make something similar from a caterers s steel bowl and I want to see how they stop the condensation running down the outside of the kettle.
Thank you in anticipation

I get my gravity right for how I want to finish. I add 1gal water, boil off a gal and I am back to my OG with hops isomerised, DMS removed and all the rest that comes with a full wort boil. Why would I want to add a hood with no openings? This will only increase pressure in the BM which will increase temperature and boil off rate. I'm not sure what happens in the computer when the kettle temp goes above 102 which it will with the hood on. What happens when you have to add hops or your IC? To many unanswered q's for me to drop that much cash on something that looks nice.
