what is the ASD setting? i'm at work and dont have my manual on me. i think i have it set to 0 right now. what you are saying makes perfect sense because my swings are all colder than my target temp. It's going about 5 below and 2 over.

SO I just set mine up. trying to get it working before i brew this weekend. I set up the temp for 40 degrees (cold crashing a starter, figured why not test it with this) 14 cubic foot chest freezer with 15 gallons in it right now, set the dif to 1, and I am getting 5 degree temp swings...

i was planning on running a remote thermometer into a thermowell and calibrate the temp controller based on that. and leave the controller insulated and taped to the wall.

It's a little heavier than I thought it should be. No idea what to categorize the 11th as. They say black IPA, but to me it has the qualities of an IIPA.

So i'm still learning how to create rcipes and didnt find an extract recipe for this one anywhere and figured i'd give it a go. Any advice? 10.0 lb Light DME 1.50 lb Crystal 60 1.50 lb Carafa III 2.00 oz Chinook (60min) 2.00 oz Simcoe (30min) 1.5 oz Amarillo (5min) 1.5oz...
