I bought an analog temperature Controller from Northern Brewer a while back. After reading about the controller here, I am not comfortable using it for Fermentation temps. a 3 degree variance is to much for me. So, which Temperature Controller would you recommend for a Chest Typer Freezer?
And about Freezers. Will they hold a temp of 65 degrees? I mean, they are meant for keeping things frozen. What happens to them when they are not working for what they are meant to be used for? Reason I ask is that I will be buying SOMETHING to primary Ferment in and Lager in. It's a toss up between a Chest Freezer or a Refridgerator. Chest Freezer I like better because of more usable room without having to add racks for a second Carboy, like I would have to do with a refridgerator. But the Fereezer and the higher temps worry me. Any comments?
