For those of you that use an A/C Window unit for the cooling of your Ferm Chamber, how cool can you get it?
I ask as I'm considering using one on a chamber I plan to build in my garage but my window unit has its own temp gauge and only goes to 60*.
And if I figure on the average of a 5* change from ambient to brew it would only be able to cool to roughly 65*...which will probably be fine, but I'd love to be able to pull off a 62/3 now and then.
And while I've got you here...how do you bypass the units internal thermostat anyway? I get how you would do it in a fridge...but the A?C unit never seems to blow cool air right when it kicks on.
Perhaps just set it to the lowest (60* in my case), mount it at the top of the cabinet and let the whole hot air rising and the internal controls handle it?
