When you use a standard fridge with a Johnson controller/aquarium controller, ect, what happens with the freezer? Will it still be below freezing, or run in the range of the fridge compartment?

Should run same temp as fridge or a bit cooler....not had a fridge/freezer since the last house years ago but recall this to be true.

my main worry is that in a typical top freezer/bottom fridge unit, when they are running the vent between the fridge/freezer chambers doesn't open up until the freezer is down to temperature, which can take quite a while. This is at least how my current older GE functions. I am sure that the vent can be opened up permanently, just haven't ever torn into one quite that deep.
Possibly but if you put the temp sensor in the fridge box, there should be no problem, no?

hmm, being the genius that I am, I have devised a plan. I ordered a controller earlier on Ebay, shouldn't take but about 10 minutes to rig it up. I am going to hook it all up on my current keg fridge (once the keg kicks) to test things out, and if all works well, get to building. Ideally, I want to find a upright freezer, they seem to be fewer and further between.
...there you go...nothing wrong with a trial run...sorry, the "scientist" in me got excited...
Cheers!
