I have a weird issue that happens when I temp control. I would love to have a time lapse camera on my temp readout and on the carboy so I could actually see what is causing it.
I use a chest freezer with a Ranco 2-stage temperature controller. The freezer and some fermwrap are plugged into it. The thermoprobe goes into a thermowelled stopper down into the beer.
Here's what is happening. It occurs in one of the following situations. I don't know which one.
1)The temperature goes up and then the freezer kicks on to bring down to the set temperature. The headspace fills up and kraussen comes out through the airlock.
or
2)The temperature goes down and then the fermwrap kicks on to bring up to the set temperature. The headspace fills up and kraussen comes out through the airlock.
I am unsure which is causing it but trying to understand what is actually happening. Any ideas?
