A great video. You covered a subject that most would think is boring. Well presented with good information on products and methods. Thanks.👍🍺

Cheers mate hope it helped!

Really necessary video guys! Definitely some good advice in there. I wanted to add a couple little things, the ethanol removes fingerprints from brushed stainless/aluminium really well so beer fonts clean up nicely with a spray but also if the wife's talked you into brushed aluminium white goods. Also the old proof system (freedom units) was used to prove rum was alcoholic, 50% ABV is 100 proof, at 100 proof rum burns. Also, I like to party... haha, crack up!

Hahahahaha cheers mate! Yeah great tip actually! Ethanol is such a good multi purpose sanitiser, I always have at least a bottle on hand ready to go

Very interesting I’ve been using these products, understand the brand names but now understand the chemical part of it. Fantastic cheers 👍🍻

[@flyingwombattv]

Cheers mate, yeah not a super fun topic but a very necessary one!

Nice vid, thanks. A little typo though, it's Sodium PERcarbonate, not precarbonate.

[@flyingwombattv]

Hahaha we can blame that one on Odin’s editing

Awesome video! I noticed the duct tape on your brewzilla jacket, I'm guessing the Velcro doesn't work as well anymore. I actually had someone who is good at sewing remove the Velcro and add a zipper to mine after that happened to mine and it works great. Just a suggestion if the tape starts to wear the outside!

Mate that’s brilliant! I’ll have to ask around and see who’s got the best sowing skills round here hahaha
