Ok guys, I have improved my brewing skills greatly thanks to you guys sharing your knowledge on here for new brewers. In an effort to brew better beer, i stepped it up to all grain, full boils, and temp control. I was feeling pretty good about everythign i had done but then i started questioning myself... So here is my question.
I have a "fermentation Chamber" (old fridge) sitting in an uninsulated outbuilding in WV (in december). In the fridge i have a heater connected to an
A419 temp control contraption (fridge is unplugged) and i have the temp sensor submerged in a jar full of water. I remotely monitor the fridge ambient temps from inside of my house with a wireless outdoor temp controller. The ambient temps range quite a bit but the water temp of the fridge stays within 5 degrees of 68.
My thought process was i would have a more accurate reading of liquid with it submerged, but now i am questioning if it would be better to have the ambient team dictate the heater allowing for a more stable temp in the environment.
Confused......Please let me know your thoughts.
