A419 digital Johnson Controller to a power strip?

[CMatt]

I just added a fan to my keezer and I've read some people run their fans 24/7.

Question: Would it be OK to plug my keezer and fan into a power strip that was plugged into the A419? The fan would then run when (& only when) the keezer ran. Basically, I would have multiple outlets temp controlled by the A419. Is there any problem in doing this?

I would recommend having your fan run all the time.

You want the air circulating all the time and not just when the compressor is on.

I recently rewired the fan in my kegerator to run 23/7.

I have had this exact setup on my keezer since 2013 and it works great. I considered running a fan continuously but those little suckers put out heat which seemed counterproductive.
