Just bought a danby designer 10.2 cubic foot chest freezer to use for lagering. I have my Johnson digital thermostat setup to it. Any suggestions on how i should set it. I currently have it set to 33 F with a 3 F differential. I want to keep my beer around 30 F to keep it as cold as possible without freezing. I am also trying to set it so the thermostat does not turn on every 15 minutes. If the freezers thermostat is rated for 100,00 cycles than it will burn out in around 3 years. I also have vacuum sealed hops in there so i would like to keep them as close to freezing without freezing my beer. I don't quite understand the temperature differential setting. Of i set SP to 30 and a differential of 5 would it shut off at 25 and turn on at 35?
