Hoping to get some feedback/ideas on my current venting issue.
We recently came across a space in an amazing downtown location with a really reasonable price. The city is enthusiastic about us moving into the space.
The ceilings are a little low, 8.5-9ft, but we plan to have a 5bbl system and I believe we could fit.
My biggest hang up right now is ventilation. There are businesses on both sides, it's under the ground in the back, and there is a business on top that overhangs in the front.
So I can't vent out the back or sides and it seems that it is unlikely that I would be able to vent out the front with a building overhead. However, there is a rather large old boiler down there.
The landlord is removing the boiler since the building is moving over to an HVAC system.
Does anyone know or have experience with big-ole boilers? Is there a chance I could vent out some existing piping that that boiler uses?
I should note that the boiler is located in a recessed space, about 3.5ft lower than the rest of the room. There is also floor drainage where the boiler exists, so I was hoping to setup the brewhouse in this space.
Additionally, I was planning on using a direct fire system but with such a confined space and limited ventilation options, would it make more sense to use electric?
Help and feedback greatly appreciated!
