Hey there, sorry for the delay in responding! :) - The water in the bucket is "warm" but not hot enough to produce any steam. Over the course of a 90 minute boil the water used is about 10-12 Gallons (about 35-45 L total). It's quite a bit of water for sure; BUT - the water I collect is then used to clean the grainfather after the brew day. The S40 (and I think most grainfathers) use a "Clean In Place" (CIP) solution. The water that's collected is put back into the grainfather after the brewday is over, PBW (or any other cleaner such as Oxiclean Free) is added to the water and it's brought up to approximately 130-140 F / 55-60C - once it's heated up - the water is recirculated using the grainfather's pump (and I have recently started using my chugger pump via the S40's spigot as well). This offers a decent solution of running a good cleaning cycle for the S40. Of course, this also means an equal amount of "rinse" water must be used after the fact.

Hi 🙂 The steam condenser allows me to brew in the basement without having steam rise and get all over the walls / ceiling during the boil. My ceiling is only about 8ft, so without the steam condenser, I'd likely have to build a decent sized vent hood with a fairly strong (400+ CFM) exhaust fan and since I brew where our laundry is, a vent hood is not an option. The Grainfather S40 is Grainfather's "low end" 40L (10.5 US Gallons) system. The G40 is more like what most Grainfather users would be accustomed to seeing. There's not a lot of differences between most of these all-in-one brewing systems (i.e. Brewzilla, Mash & Boil, Grainfather, etc.) at the end of the day. They all are capable of making great beer! 🍻

@@davidchang-sang1293 awesome, thank you

Hey Raymond, my apologies on the delay in getting back to you - unfortunately the "delightful aroma" is not reduced, so you still get all that smell

@@davidchang-sang1293 The water that comes out has a very ... special... smell :)

@@patmog 🤣😆🤣 Soooooo True!
