Description
Steam condenser for Brewtools – remove the steam without an extraction system
A steam condenser is a good alternative to an extraction system when brewing beer. It connects to the extraction hood and cools the steam into liquid by spraying cold water onto it through a nozzle. The condensed steam then runs out of the condenser into a drain or a bucket. The condenser fits the extraction hood for the Brewtools B40pro, B80pro and B150pro. These models have been discontinued and replaced by the B25, B50, B100 and B180. With the condenser fitted, you use less power during the boil (see note at the bottom).
How it works
Steam from the boil rises through the extraction hood and into the condenser. The nozzle sprays cold water into the steam, the steam condenses, and the water runs out through the drain hose. The product comes with a nozzle that delivers 1.1 litres of water per minute at 4 bar.
Included in the box
- TC 4" to TC 2" adapter (1 pc)
- 20 cm TC 2" pipe (2 pcs)
- TC 2" T-piece (1 pc)
- TC 2" 90-degree elbow (1 pc)
- TC 2" 1/8" nozzle adapter with TC34mm inlet (1 pc)
- TC 2" to 19 mm hose adapter (1 pc)
- TC 2" clamp (6 pcs)
- TC 2" gasket (6 pcs)
- 1/8" BSP-T nozzle, 30 degrees, 1.1 litres per minute at 4 bar (1 pc)
You also need
- an extraction hood for your brewing system
- TC 4" clamp and gasket
- an adapter for the water inlet (TC34mm to hose, Gardena adapter or similar)
- a drain hose (16 x 25 mm)
- a TC34mm 90-degree elbow is recommended for the water inlet
Note: You need much less power to boil with this unit, and there is a high risk of boil-over if the power is too high. Take the necessary precautions. To maintain the vacuum, the drain hose must not have back pressure. We recommend draining into a bucket where the hose is not submerged in water, or letting the drain hose hang over a floor drain.
Frequently asked questions about the steam condenser for Brewtools
How much water does the steam condenser use?
The included nozzle delivers 1.1 litres of water per minute at 4 bar water pressure.
Why must the drain hose not be submerged?
The condenser relies on the vacuum created when the steam condenses. If the hose is submerged or has back pressure, the vacuum is lost. Let the hose end above a bucket or a floor drain.
Do I need to adjust the power when using the condenser?
Yes. You need much less power to maintain the boil, and too much power gives a high risk of boil-over. Start low and increase carefully.
What else do I need to buy?
You need an extraction hood for the brewing system, a TC 4" clamp and gasket, an adapter for the water inlet and a 16 x 25 mm drain hose.
