I'm impressed with all the pics. I'm gonna take some of these ideas and incorporate into my own homegrown sculpture. Now I'm using converted kettles and a cooler tun; placing things wherever they fit into the bar/garage, using gravity aided with a march pump.

Inspiration! Thank you, fellow soldiers!

anyone know the best cfm for the exhaust fan. I'm starting to get the brew house set up and have a few questions.

Here'sa chart for ordinary application, such as a standard bathroom or kitchen air exchange rate.

This is another calculator for "growing operations" that might better fit a brewing operation.

In my opinion it's better to go too big than too small. If you get one that is really quiet, the only drawback to a fan that's too large is a feeling of wind around the door or window openings, and it might be a little harder to close the door and keep it closed. Too small and you might end up with damp grain, mildew etc.

Noise from a big fan might be a pain, too. I bought a Panasonic fan for my laundry room. I leave it on 24/7 and no one can tell, the sone output is .3 and it hardly draws any power.

Good luck with your brew room - be sure to post before/during/after photos.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TAKE UP AIR AVAILABLE!!!
You need a source of air to push out that fan without creating a vacuum. (crack a window or whatever)

Its not quite done yet. I still need to mount my braided hose for water, my canister filter, connect the canister filter to the faucet/pur filter and finish cutting my high temp hoses.
