    Cleaning Glasses

    Yes but we've resurrected it. I use lemongrass / green tea flavour. I wash by hand with hardly any water and just a couple of drop of the magic. Rinses off completely with no odor remaining. My house is on a water softener but I don't think that's a factor.

    Cleaning Glasses

    I too struggled for ages to get my glasses "beer clean" Then I discovered Organic Choice dishwashing liquid. Plant based, no caustic or petro chemicals. Softens your hands while you clean the glasses. ( i'm showing my age there.) $3.50 from Woolies.

    Leaving the pump running will ensure you have maximum flow though the grain. Switching it off allows the water level to drop, reducing head pressure above grain. Water flowing down the overflow ensures the wort temperature above the grain is correct. Both good for efficiency.

    Chiller works well. Always chill straight to the fermenter not back to the kettle.

    Nitto (air hose) fittings for co2
