Quick question on ferment chamber temp control. I have thumbed through some search results on temp fluctuation and have started to question my setup. I have the typical STC-1000 in a chest freezer with a small space heater which seems to hold temps within a degree or so +/- so no complaints there. My question is on sensor placement.
I will be brewing batches of varying sizes and potentially have them fermenting together. So what I did was put my sensor in a gallon jar filled with water. I figure that 1 gallon would be the smallest I would ever make but could have 5 gallon batches as well. So as long as the 1 gallon holds temp the 5 gallon should be pretty close. Are there any thoughts on a better way to handle this?
I will also be careful about what yeast I have fermenting to make sure they all have similar optimum ranges.
