Hi, I currently use a Johnson Digital controller in my fermentation fridge in my garage. In need to maintain a temp of about 50 deg f for a lager fermentation. The temp is measured and controlled through a thermowell. There will be 2 carboys in the refigerator. I have a small space heater that has digital buttons but the temp only goes down to 60. I have checked it and when it is on low-it over powers the fridge and ambient is 55-so this wont work. Because we have temp swings of about 60 during the day and 30 at night I need to both cool and heat as needed....alot of the times I will not be around to manually make changes. I am thinking that the best way to do this would be to have the smallest heat source running inside at all times and let the controller remain on the cooling cycle. I will also want to be able to raise the temp to 60 for a diacetyl rest after attenuative. What would be my best bet here? Thanks
