I'm stoked!! I just recently bought a chest freezer and a Ranco temp controller to maintain proper temperatures during fermentation. I did an experiment first with a beer bottle full of water to see if the temp will be stable. I placed the thermocouple probe in the bottle and wrapped the top of bottle with saran wrap to immulate the real deal. I put the freezer at max and set the controller at 68 degrees. (The bottle of water was 100 degrees prior to all this) It dropped the temp of the water from 100 to 68 just like i wanted but one problem. When it reached 68 degrees and the freezer turned off, it was so cold that the water temp kept going down to 50 degrees.
Not good. Is this whats going to happen to my beer or will it stay closer to my set point due to the fermentation activity?
Please let me know your methods?
