Hi,
I recently bought a fridge off CL and made an eBay temp controller. Things have worked beautifully until today.
Yesterday I brewed my first lager and set the temp to 50f after giving it 24 hours to get fermentation started.
The fridge keeps kicking the compressor off at 55f.
Some sources say you can just connect the wires running into the thermostat so the compressor will run when you want it to by others say that's not safe to do.
I did tighten the set point screw and that seems to help a bit but I really want to get this properly fixed before I need to lager for 2 months at 38 or so.
Thank you in advance for your time! Any clarification/advice would be appreciated!
