You have equipment loss set at 1 gal. Equipment loss is volume lost in the lines of a CFC or pumps. So if you have either of those items, try and figure out how much water they hold. If you are just...

Question about solar panels

Yeah, it still ages, just slower. I've heard it said that for every 10C reduction in temp, it ages 2-3 times slower. So going from cellar temps of about 55F (13C) to fridge temps 40F (4C) is about...

The number of cells in a packaged beer, even an unfiltered one, is going to be very low. And you used a high ABV heavily hopped beer, so the viability of the cells will also be very low. They...

As stated above, topping off in the fermenter is no problem, but a full boil is slightly better. If/when you decide to go full boil, you will be starting out with 6 or 6.5 gallons of liquid, and need...

If the current is not returning through the neutral than it is necessarily going to ground. And GFCIs are quite a bit better than your example. If 10 amps goes out and 9.995 amps comes back in, it...

I guess that's what I get for quoting something second hand. So if we revise those pitching rates down 50%, we get a yeast smack pack or vial is good for up to 1.056, much more in line with the...

Don't do this. If you want to add champagne yeast to dry it out, you have to do it in primary/secondary. NOT in the bottles. That would almost certainly result in bottle bombs.
