I am making a hard root beer recipe out of BYO magazine and it isn't fermenting as fast as expected. Basically 4lbs of sugar in 4.5 gallons of water with a OG of 1.075 and aiming for a FG of 0.955. I didn't notice (smell of co2 in fermentation chamber) active fermentation after two days yeast...

I used about 15 ft of left over copper tubing that I coiled up to pre-cool the water out of the tap before my CF. By putting the copper coil in a bucket of ice water and keep adding the ice as needed. I have found it is easier and less energy to take 85 degree water down to 65 that 212 down to...

The concern I have is the collar is not 100% flush with the freezer. If I push on the black left corner then the front right corner comes up about an 1/8". Whould the silicone still work well? As I do have concerns about the way GG expands. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks to all this issue has been resolved with a loose connection. Now to glue down the collar.

Hello, Has anyone used gorilla glue to glue down the collar to the freezer? I was planning putting a couple of kegs and 6.5 gallons buckets full of water to weigh it down verses clamping. Any thoughts?
