What is an exceptable range to set up for a temp controller?
What I mean is, I have a sparkeling new Johnson A-419 on the way and I'm going to use a spare fridge to ferm and then lager a Maibock. Since it takes a lot of time to change the temp in 5 gallons and I'm shooting for 48-58 degrees for the ferm, what should the TC be set at so the fridge isn't constantly kicking on and off? From 48 to 53 is what I was thinking. Assuming the wort will actually be a couple degrees warmer.
Does this sound about right?
