I'm going to keg it but figured it could sit in a glass jug just as well as it could sit in a keg... but wouldn't be taking up a keg for 6 months.
Was this logic wrong?
I have an IPA that's sat in a secondary fermenter out of sunlight and in a stable environment with a properly maintained air lock for about 6 months now.
I've checked on it at least every week and had no issue until now. Suddenly, I find there is a somewhat solidified white mass, almost like...
The evaporator was uniformly frosted.
After defrosting it appeared to be working better (Before it would only maintain about 8*C and now it will maintain 5*C.
I agree, it behaves as though the door is open or something, but really nothing has changed.
Any other tests I can do?
I had excessive frost build up.
I shut it down for a few hours and scraped all that off. That seemed to help a little bit.
What might excessive frost build up represent?
I have a GE dorm sized fridge that nicely fits 2 Cornies. When I found the fridge (literally) it had a nonfunctional thermostat system. I bypassed that and have it plugged into a STC-1000 system (The Ebay aquarium temp controllers). This made it work, and the system would maintain 3.3*C all day...
I am building a kegerator out of a found mini fridge. It's a GE brand and fits two kegs. Anyway, the built in thermostat was bad and I have the fridge working by bypassing it so that the compressor runs continuously.
My options are to:
Replace the stock "thermostat" for about $30 and hope that...
