I have a Ranco temp controller and I've just been taping it to the side of the fermentation vessel so that it tries to keep the beer at exactly the temp I'm looking for. My concern is that it might make the freezer get too cold and stall out the fermentation.
For example, I just pitched Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeast as 70F and I'm going to let it start fermenting and then drop it to around 62-64 for a clean Irish Red. However I'd think that the freezer would cool much faster than the beer and it might get to be below freezing in the freezer before the beer gets to my desired temp. Then it would continue to get colder and stall out the process.
Any thoughts?
