I have purchased the brewers edge digital thermostat for my mini fridge. I have heard the probe should be put in the following places:
1. A small vial of antifreeze
2. a small jar or bottle of water
3. taped to the side of carboy under a damp cloth
4. hanging free about midway down
I have opted for taping it under a damp napkin to the side of my carboy. Are any of these ways better? I have heard that the beer temp in the middle of the carboy can increase about 8+ degrees during active ferment?
