All gear supplied by Goanna Brewing must be tested by the customer thoroughly before use and maintained correctly over time.
Goanna Brewing is not responsible for lost beer, beverages, liquid, gas or other consumables caused from leaks or faulty items.
It is the job of the installer (customer) to thoroughly check hose joins, taps, seals, chillers and all other corresponding gear before leaving the system under pressure. All beer systems require maintenance and require periodic seal replacements etc. It is the users ongoing role to make sure all fittings and fixtures are working correctly and maintain a good seal. If these checks have not been done then “DO NOT LEAVE” the system under pressure. (We recommend you turn your gas bottle off each night).
