Looking for help with steam condenser set up.
I currently brew in a Dark Farm Brew Tank and have just about got to grips with it. As I brew in a garage I decided to buy a steam condenser and although I have extraction installed it isn’t ideal.
I decided to put this new shiny bit of kit through its paces. My initial thought was to connect up my old redundant brewzilla Gen3 and pump the water through the spray nozzle but soon realised that it wasn’t powerful enough and steam was escaping through the condenser and out of the drain pipe . I then connected it up to my outside tap and all seemed Ok. I ran the Brew Tank on full power with just 20L of water and found that my boil off rate was 4L p/h opposed to my usual 6 L p/h with the lid off. Does this seem to be about right? I have seen other forum members claim far less boil off. Has anyone experimented in nozzle sizes ? Maybe that’s the way to go? all suggestions gratefully received
