Almighty Beer Gods:
I scored a wicked upright whirlpool freezer from a neighbor who was getting rid of it because it needed a recharge and wouldn't deep freeze.
My question to you is:
The stable temp on the lowest setting possible (somewhere between OFF and 1) is around 26-28F degrees. Is this going to be too cold to throw in 5 gallons of homebrew in a 6.5 gallon glass carboy? Im not wanting to freeze the beer, break my carboy, or drop the seventy bucks on a regulator right now. Last night I threw a Heineken in there when I went to bed and it was not frozen when I woke up this morning. Poured the same beer into a plastic cup and floated my thermometer in it for about 10 hours during the day today. Rushed home and checked the temp and it was at about 27F.
Whaddya think fellas?
