Wouldn't you know it. I had nothing but trouble getting my Octoberfest together and now, just a week into fermenting, my keezer is dying. The Ranco is desperately trying to get the temp down but the lowest I've been able to get out of it is 57º. The lagering stage is not looking good at this point. I've played with the temp setting on the freezer, unplugged it for a few hours, let it rest at a set point of 58º overnight, but no luck. The compressor works but it's hot. I'm thinking that I'm losing Freon.
On the plus side, I hadn't started building it into my bar yet, so I didn't waste any time there. Now I have to decide if I want to drop a bucket load of money on a new freezer or go with an old used one again. SWMBO is patient and very nice, but it's her turn to buy something for herself. It always seems to be my turn so I have to make sure she gets her toy.
Damn. Someone invite me over for a beer. I need a hug.
