I was wondering if it would be worth it for me to invest in a refrigerator/digital temperature control set-up. I am doing partial mashes. The temp in my basement ranges from 65-72 year around and doesn't fluctuate radically. I have only done 4 batches, but have seen my temps during raging fermentation get up to 76 and then dip down to 67 before finishing.
Would a freezer or fridge set up really keep the internal temperature of my fermentation steady enough to make a difference or is the back room in my basement good enough?
I am kind of leaning toward using a refrigerator over a freezer just so I have a place to keep bottles cold when I'm not fermenting anything. I could pick up a freezer cheap though. Is one better than the other?
