My thought is that using a well will chill the outside temp too much,while the internal temp is going to be warmer. Will it effect the beer taste in a bad way? Cooler is better than warmer, right?

That's how I do it now, in my kegerator, just didn't know if those thermowells were worth trying. I guess not if you think about it. The fridge would run for long periods of time.

Also, I'm going to use a couple of computer fans to circulate air inside. Should these run all of the time or only when the refrigerator is on??

I'm almost done building my fermentation chamber, and I'm wondering how I should control the fermenting temperature. I've seen tops for carboys that have a stainless steel thermowell on them, that insert into the center of your brew. Anyone have any experience controlling the temp. based on...
We plan on leaving it in secondary for a week, I'll check again then and do your suggested 24-36. Once we transferred to secondary, it started bubbling again.
No butterscotch taste.... Couldn't resist testing it! It tasted lightly hoppy. Just didn't think it would happen all so quickly. Temp stayed 73-75. Now we dry hopped it in the secondary.
We just transferred to secondary for an IPA. The SG is already lower than what it should be after secondary ferment...... OG was 1.053, now it's 1.012. It's been in the primary 4 days. Does this sound normal?
Safale a-04 is the yeast I'm using. Book says the temps I'm doing are okay. But I would like to have more control over the temps. Going to have to look at other methods
Should I pick my yeast based on the temps I can store during fermentation? I love IPA, what are some strains I can do on the higher temp range? 70-80....?
I'm really glad you posted this. I'm a beginner and I noticed my primary was about 5 degrees warmer than room temperature. Room temp 74. Guess I need to invest a little more.....
