Easier to just move more air. Even if you chill it, you're not going to get a huge temp delta (compared to ambient vs combustion temperatures). That is, if ambient is 30C and combustion is at 1000C, if you chill the air to 0*C you're only incurring an additional 3% to heat the air to combustion temp. It may be worth relocating your intake to make sure the intake air isn't heated by the forge though.
IMO, just get a big-ass centrifugal fan like they use to dry animals. Something like this.
Backyard metal casting has tons of great resources.

I personally would recommend those filters. It's a greater micron size, but it's already much less than that of you 72-25μm filter for a dry sift press. Speaking of which, there's a few tips I will give based off the best results I've seen so far
-If you are able to, use a 150μm, full-spectrum dry sift thats pressed through a 25μm and run more pressure at a lower temperature, with more time and cool them on something cold. This allows for the taste of full spectrum without the need to reintroduce strain profile terpenes.
-Learn to make rosin jam. This is more of a syrup consistent and will allow for easier separation of lipids through the filter and will be closer to a distillate consistency requiring fewer terps.
-Only use enough to emulsify when heated in a magnetic stirrer hot plate.
-Use a magnetic stirrer hot plate
-Use a simple green crystal clear concentrate diluted in distilled or boiled water on warm temperatures immediately after done with use in an ultrasonic cleaner. This will clean, degrease, and be medically sterile when it comes out.
-When using the filter, you want the liquid to be slightly luke warm, this not only speeds up the process, but it also basically sperates more materials like lipids that will separate if not mixed together correctly.
-Get the German made Truth brand, 10ml Borosilicate syringe with a lier lock. That's what the syringe filters lock into. You also get finer graduations with 10ml as opposed to 20ml. You can even hook a PID up to a email coil and fit it around the syringe body and set the temp to 150 just to keep it warm enough to stay liquid but still cool enough to get better filtration.
If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me.
Thanks. It does look like it has more, but i'm not sure its enough. What i'm having difficulty explaining is that the threads on my faucet are recessed into the face of the sprayer such that when i try to screw in the adapter the threads don't meet. My [aerator looks like this one] (https://www.grainger.com/product/2CYV1). For anyone else interested, i'm going to pick this one up and maybe i'll post a reply.
If you are going to start IVing, pick up micron filters and start using those from the very beginning. They will save you money and pain (by rendering your injections sterile, thereby avoiding infections, etc.) Not to mention, it will prevent all sorts of bullshit cuts from entering your bloodstream and collecting in your lungs and elsewhere.
Here is an example available on Amazon. Go for the 0.22um pore size (or lower.) this pore size is small enough that bacteria and some viruses are filtered out manually, rendering your shot much safer.
To illustrate what BST said...

Media Bottle: http://www.amazon.com/PYREX-500mL-Round-Storage-Bottles/dp/B004XR5TUM/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1421326439&sr=1-1&keywords=borosilicate+media+bottle.+45mm&pebp=1421326442468&peasin=B004XR5TUM
For autoclaving, in college we would just cover the top of the bottle with a small piece of aluminum foil and secure it with autoclave tape (which will also indicate when a specific temp has been reached)
Tape: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoclave_tape
So I figured out why my bottle top filters wouldn't hold the vacuum, and it was simply because it wasn't airtight. I had to push the top against my thigh to get an airtight seal and only then did it hold a vacuum.
So basically, how do I make the top airtight? It only came with these crappy plastic dust covers. I've got these filters specifically, if it helps.
*Also, the filters are plastic, which I didn't factor in when I decided to buy them. Are they still good to use, considering they'll be under pressure? If so, how much pressure can I safely use?
GIT GUD SON!
Seriously, attention to detail will drive your beer from ok to good.
Control will take it to great.
Water: This is most of your beer, if your water sucks your beer will suck. At the least use a carbon filter or campden tabs to kill the chlorine/chloramines coming through from the tap. Below are links to a filter setup. Plumb the outlet to 1/4" OD tubing. This will slow down the flow a lot. Slower flow = better contact time = better water. Get this much done on the cheap, if you want to play with RO and pH do it later. Get this level of consistency down first.

Make sure you are getting a good boil. Target 1gal/hour of boiloff. This will help your drive off undesirable compounds in the wort and up your hop utilization.
Hops: Make sure they are fresh, frozen, and under vacuum (if you can't manage vacuum double ziplock making sure to push out as much air as possible)
Yeast: Manage your pitch rates, use the calculator over at brewunited. If you don't have the resources to manage yeast starters stick to dry yeast and learn how to rehydrate them. More and more strains are emerging on the dry market and the dry yeast offers a great deal of consistency.
Ferm Temp: This one will make you a hero. This one is not as expensive as it seems. It is May, dorm fridges should be flooding CL, snatch one up for cheap, pick up an ITC-308 from amazon for a temp controller, and also pick up a 17W seedling heat mat. If you are careful all this could be had for less than $100.
Post Ferm: Once the beer is done fermenting minimize contact with oxygen. Since you are focusing on pale ales reducing the oxygen contact with the wort will easily improve your quality. Check out the sterile siphon starter over at brulosophy and note how they have it directly hooked up to the keg post instead of dropping the tube through the open top.
Feel free to PM me if you have further questions.
1000 mL Bottle Top Vacuum Filter with Bottle, 0.22 um PES Filter, Sterile, Individually Packaged
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DP8HBNP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_UwkjDb7J422RZ
See if you can find a cheaper version on eBay. Cut out the filter and use coffee filters that fit in the reservoir.
For a vacuum source, I use my vacuum sealer with a hose attachment.
Do a first pass filter using a strainer first, then use the vacuum filter with paper coffee filters to remove the finer particles.
Just wash and reuse.
Hello! This looks incredible! I'm just now a high school senior and have been looking into aeroponics after having done hydroponics for at the past three years. I was apprehensive to spend my petty fast food job money on one of those $80 8800 pumps that aeroponic supply companies sell, and those outrageously priced $5 a piece 50 micron plastic nozzles. I'm glad I finally found a source of information that doesn't try to up the price a ridiculous amount. Also great work on using the Arduino as a timer as that was my plan too! I just never got around to it and decided to learn Python instead of C++ :P You're quite right that finding a timer for this kind of application is both a pain and expensive otherwise.
I have a few questions about your build.
How many nozzles/sprayers can this system support?
Is the above question dependent on the size of the accumulators?
Are those brass nozzles able to produce 5-50 micron droplets?
Are there any problems you have run into using this system?
Final note: check these filter bags out, as they might be a little easier to use straight away than a sponge and could fit into a larger water reservoir.
I started using these about 9 months ago and I won't use anything else. Just get the luer lock syringes w no needle. You can use the filters a few times too if you flush them well. Warm water has worked best for me. Hope that helps.
idk if i can send some to you from overseas but in case i can't here's an amazon link

You should be using micron wheel filters, especially since you sound like you could easily afford and acquire them.
Here's one of the better ones out there, and in particular are individually packaged and sterilized, which does matter to an extent. If you have disposable income, I'd go with these bad boys. Make sure they're compatible with the needles you use (higher gauge number the better...use 27 gauge or higher, like ~29-31 gauge is arguable the best for your health and still thick "enough" not to clog often, especially when using micron filters).
https://www.amazon.com/Membrane-Solutions-Lab-Supply-Diameter/dp/B074QM7VTW/ref=sr_1_4?crid=149V0AEILKTDJ&keywords=0.22+micron+syringe+filter+sterile&qid=1570813763&sprefix=0.22+micron%2Caps%2C1189&sr=8-4
If you're somewhat on a budget, using something like the one linked below (also 0.22ug micron filter, but not sterilized and individually package) can bring the cost down from ~$1-1.50 per filter to more like ~$0.50-0.70 per filter. IMO, don't bother buying sterilized microns IF they're not individually packaged, unless the price isn't that much more.
https://www.amazon.com/LINKTOR-Orangnic-Filtration-Diameter-Non-sterile/dp/B07P5P3WMK/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=0.22+micron+syringe+filter&qid=1570814035&sr=8-10
Personally, I wouldn't use a 0.22ug micron filter that's cheaper than ~$0.70 each, unless it's for non-injection purposes, or unless it has loads of positive reviews. I don't IV, but if I did I'd recognize that just ~$0.50-1 per dose/shot (or possibly even cheaper, as you can filter a bit more than just one "dose" depending on the total quantity and how impure it is, as long as you filter it all at once).
If someone is on a bare minimum budget, use at least a 0.45ug micron filter, or at worst a sterifilt (cheaper than microns, filters out ~99% of all particles >5ug, and 90% of all particles <5ug). That's not a fine enough filter to filter out the vast majority of bacteria, but it's WAY better than using cotton.
Cotton only filters out particles as "small" as ~40-80ug in size, and even when it does, it's not a "filter" with a universal pore size. That means that particles larger than ~100ug still get through, even if it's "only" ~1-20% of all particles that size.
> discounted rate
Lol, half the time the products stated MSRP is ridiculous to the point that they aren't viable; case in point. $1100 for a fan? It's literally this with an attachment. Where the extra $1000 in engineering comes from is beyond me. Maybe the Raspberry Pi module to provide power cycling or controls for a bluetooth device? It's still insane.
Also note that the kick starter I linked actually delivers a product now. The campaign valued it at $1159 but they sell it for $759.
i think I'm going to order that flask along with these Deschem 70mm,0.22um,PVDF Membrane Filter,OD=7CM,Made By Polyvinylidene Fluoride,50Pcs/Pack https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07B9VSGM9/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_dwGPDbWMK9MMH
Yep! You already have the vacuum pump, all you need is the buchner funnel, filter paper, and syringe filters. The only other real cost is the everclear, terpenes, and cartridges.
Your first pass through the funnel will be just with coffee filters. 2nd time use the 10 micron that comes with the funnel, 3rd time use the 2.5 micron, and finish up with the syringe filters. Its the only way I've been able to make a cart wick and not taste burnt. I just use the fruit frenzy shatter batter for flavor, it comes out a little runny but works well. They have other flavors as well. The grape is like a grape ice pop. I would avoid unless you like those lol. Theres some videos on the shatter batter page that shows how to do it. Don't do the microwave thing, do the double boiler.
Is this one ok pressure gauge i saw cheaper but i don’t know what is the good one so i pick this
I'm having good results with this one.
These here
Yea .45 it is. It takes a bit of patience and a couple minutes back in the oven a few times. I couldn't imagine trying with a .22 micron. I will follow up when the carts are empty I made 3.
Yeah for Kief or real smushy material you need to order some of these bad boys https://www.amazon.com/Nylon-Rosin-Press-Filter-micron/dp/B06X6KG5T9/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1527560275&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Squish+Strong
But me personally i go for much smaller presses so i think the bags i use are from that same company but they are 1.5inch x 4inc a smaller bag. edit just for reference, i only press buds and rarely have to use the bags. Sometimes ill get some fresher material than i expected and ill have to use the bag before if not the shit will just keep pancaking out too far
I use these with bleeder

No idea if this is a good price/value or not but they’re all over the internet - if that’s an option for ya. Look for 0.2 micron (even filters out some bacteria!)
A few recommendations:
