Thanks for the help everyone. I went with the shim route. I couldn't cut a piece of wood to size, but some bamboo strips I had lying around worked well.

Ok, thanks for the help! Hopefully just one board is warped.

Hey all, I've finally gotten around to building a collar for my new freezer - problem is it's a little crooked (see picture). It's about 3/4" away from the top of the freezer on the front left side. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Should I just scrap it and start over...

Thanks TX. I'll have to remember this next time I brew a bock. I'll lay off on the crystal a bit and see if that changes anything. Yooper - I'll also make some bitterness changes. If I find it too sweet after carbonation, I may try boiling some hops in water and adding to the finished beer...

Hi all, I just finished kegging a bock and during some tasting it seemed too sweet. OG was 1.072, FG was measured at 1.018 - right on the estimated value. Are bocks supposed to be so sweet? Is there something with the fermentation that could have gone wrong? I made a huge starter and...

Hey all, I have a copper immersion chiller and fittings that connect to a standard kitchen faucet, but the placed I just moved to does not have a standard faucet. Does anyone know how I can connect to this, if at all? Pics below. Thanks!

Thanks. Sorry I can't tell you about it yet. My freezer delivery got pushed back and I haven't been able to brew.

After over half a year of not being able to brew (apartment 80°F+), I'm finally getting a freezer and will be able to brew again! I've found a bunch of recipes for a mango habanero APA, but wanted to try this with an ESB. My thought is that the fruitiness of an English yeast will complement...

Ah bummer. Thanks for the response.

Hey how have these builds gone? I'm looking to get one of these for fermentation. Do either of you know how two 6.5 gallon buckets with lids will fit?

Sorry for the late reply - I haven't tried it out yet. My beers have been turning out just OK, and I've been trying to really get my technique right before I do anything different. I will update this thread when I do however. Didn't know Dogfish did a black garlic beer. I would have liked to...

Gotcha, thanks!

Is this grey goo the hot break? It's like a cake on top of the boil. I've done a few batches and haven't seen anything look quite so gross before.....

No one else with black garlic? I guess I'll have to experiment.

I recently discovered black garlic and found this thread from a couple of years ago: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/black-garlic-beer-221886/ Wondering if anyone else has had experience brewing with black garlic. It sounds like it would be an interesting ingredient...
