    Solar panel installation cause roof leak

    If you have a steel roof and they used aluminium to support panels instead of stainless steel, then the aluminium would react with the steel roof.

    Higher Attenuation, Lower FG. Some styles seem impossible!

    I use dry enzymes, less than $3.00 per 23 litre ferment, also a product called DETAZYME AMG from Hoppy Days does the same job. I consistently achieve attenuation around 99%

    Bad batches or my mistake?

    Do you remove the bung, pull it apart, clean & sanitise, then re-assemblethat the rubber seal has had the same treatment.

    Corny keg beer out disconnect fittings

    You can also try putting Food Grade Grease on your post every few months, you don't need much, prevents O rings from dry out. I use on both the in & out posts. Fittings are easy to remove & replace.

    Dry Yeast in Freezer, is it Kaput?

    I buy Safale-05 in a 500g block and store it in the freezer, I use 9.5grms in a 20lt wort, I let it come to room temp & then toss it in the wort, nothing else and never had it fail.

    I had the 35 zilla, then up graded to the 65 zilla. Best thihg I ever done. If you want temp control for fermetor fridge go to Kegland for the temp controller, thst little black box is perfect.

    Next time the keg is empty, fill with gas, leave it for a day, if you have lost the gas then replace the seals.

    I have scotch & dry & gin & tonic on tape. the dry & tonic is allready carbed, so just need the pressure to pour. If you make your own soda water, force carb @ 30 psi, rolling the keg bake & forth on the floor for 15mins. Done

    Maybe your keg needs more gas, or you have a seal leak

    Heating efficiency and cleaning simplicity

    G'day DJ, I have 15amp power supply to my shed, I have a Brewzilla 65 which requires a 15amp power supply. I make 40lt batches into fermentors, that fills 2x19lt kegs. Same cleaning involved with 35lt & 65lt.
