BrewZilla 2 Inch Tri-Clover Steam Condenser Set
This steam condenser lid can be compatible with the 35L or 65L BrewZilla/DigiBoil with the stainless distillation lid and 2 Inch Bulkhead. This unit can allow brewing indoors without that pesky sticky steam gumming up your freshly painted interior!The End Cap can be removed for brewing salts/hops and other brewing essentials to be added during the boil. Please note hot steam through this port can lead to serious scalding, please use heatproof gloves.
Not only will you get to the boil faster, but you will use less power overall to maintain a rolling boil as there will be less area for the heat to escape. No need to install inside a kitchen, or in the garage with a special rangehood. Simply attach this to the Condenser Lid and run your kitchen tap, garden hose to the inlet. You don't not need super-fast flow rate to cool boiling steam into liquid. Different to distillation where you require the distillate to be under a certain temperature so that ethanol doesn't evaporate from the liquid at a high rate, with boiling wort you just need enough to form a liquid! Pretty simple.
Eco-Friendly option if you have the means to save/collect the coolant water. Can be re-used on the garden or for cleaning later on. Please note the water discharging will be very hot!
The Spray head can condense 1.6 litres per minute while connected to 100 psi mains water.

HEAT UP TIME CALCULATOR
The calculator below can be used to work out how long it will take to heat up your water in the Robobrew. Please note that this is heating efficiency not brewing efficiency below. If you are using the Robobrew Jacket you will have about 95% efficiency but if you are not using the jacket then you will get about 85% efficiency (as you will have 15% heat loss into the atmosphere).

IMPORTANT WARNING
It is important that the output tube for this steam condenser is open to atmosphere. This will allow the condensed steam to exit freely.
DO NOT - put a valve on the liquid output or restrict the condensed steam in any way as this may cause your brewery to develop vacuum and implode or explode
DO NOT- immerse the tube for the condensed steam in water. The outlet hose must be open to atmosphere and the drips of condensed steam must drip into your collection bucket freely.
