Those of you smug enough to suggest you can secure the Dock with ease should count yourselves lucky that you got one of the few products that aren't defective. I've made 3-4 brews but have always had horrendous issues screwing lid and attaching the Dock. It doesn't matter if you put it in a sink or on the floor-the handle of the lid does not fold effectively into the space provided. This makes attaching the Dock a lottery and likely a lot of stress and exertion in the process. The beers themselves are really nice which is the only reason I have persevered to date. But I don't need the stress of this after a busy days work and won't be giving it the time of day anymore
