The Inkbird probe is hanging off the beer line maybe 4 inches below the lid. Sounds like I should strap it (with tape, I assume) to the bottom ~ 1/3 of the keg.
I have one corny keg at least 3/4 full, and a 5 lb CO2 cylinder.
Per your suggestion, I have a spare empty keg I can fill with water.
Re insulation... I'll install around the collar and underside of the lid. Then recheck cycle time.
Thank you for the helpful response.
Hi All. I converted a brand new Magic Chef chest freezer (HMCF7W2) to my first keezer, using a 2x4 collar with 3 taps. It is a 6.9 cubic ft model.
I'm using an Inkbird ITC-308 set for a 38 degree target; the low and high temperature variances were already set at 3 degrees so I left them alone...
