The screws are about 23 inches above the refrigerator floor, making the connections a couple of inches below the top of the kegs. I used hot glue to bond the distributors to the inside refrigerator wall for some added support. The mounting works for me because there is enough room for four kegs...
It's a fact that chlorine or chloramine in your brewing water will mute hop flavor and aroma. I would start there. In my experience, oxidation will darken pale-colored beers, which would be a sure sign it is muting your hops. The other thing to try is whirlpooling, aroma hopping in the boil, and...

I calculate the total strike and sparge water volumes needed to produce enough wort to fill a keg up to my target volume, then treat that total strike water volume to match a water profile. Of course, before knowing just how to treat the total strike water volume, you also must know which grains...
The formula in column B will display the MLT volume needed in gallons. Enter your required grain weight, absorption rate, and strike water volume to calculate the MLT volume accurately. Column F will display the mash thickness based on the volumes entered.
=(E4*1.03)+(C4*D4)
Initially, just set the heat loss temperature to 2 degrees. After dough-in, note the temperature of your mash. Next time adjust the heat loss temperature up or down as needed. As you mentioned, heat loss will vary somewhat with every brewing system and brewer.
=D4+0.192*(D4-C4)/B4+E4
=(((D4*9/5)+32+0.192*((D4*9/5+32)-(C4*9/5+32))/(B4/2.0863511218233)+(E4*9/5)+32)-32)*5/9
When entered into a spreadsheet, here is something that will help you, but you must also enter the grain temperature and mash thickness. Change the degrees of heat loss introduced...
