I just scored a little (6cu') chest freezer to use for lager fermentation. The bad news is that it will only hold one of my 6 gal carboys. Two will just barely not fit with the hump. I don't want to brew 5 gals. of lager at a time, and I don't want to use a bucket for the second 5 gals. I read the better bottles dimensions are 12" wide for the 6 gal. Is this true? This is much wider than my glass. I assumed they would be less thick than my glass. Maybe they are more squat. Can I pound the curved compressor hump a little? I just need like an inch and a half. Any help with these two questions is greatly appreciated.
