eganter Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hello, In planning our equipment, I am looking to re-use our condenser cooling water for our rum wash. I would like to heat the water back up with excess steam after it leaves our still. Here is my question. What is the average temperature of water leaving a condenser. My plan is to use heat transfer and send the water into totes and then transfer it to open top fermenters at 85 degrees. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaalvenn Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It varies depending on the ABV of the steam running through it. At 95% ABV you will be at about 160. At 20% ABV you will probably be around 200 Also varies upon condenser design, flow and input temp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
