I think you would be better off taping it to the side of the fermentor.
thats why taping it to the fermentor works better.. it reads the temp of the BEER not the walls or the air.
It's also interesting to note that the shortest time between cycles indicates where the fermenation was most active.
I use a 5 degree temp diff on mine and the beer temp never changes because when the compressor kicks on the temp drops 5 degrees in just 3 minutes but then it takes 30 minutes for it to come back up 5 degrees. The average temp is uniform and the beer temp will not fluctuate a measurable amount.
Are you using the probe for air temp or carboy temp?
