Black Island Brewer
An Ode to Beer
Yesterday I kegged 10 gallons of ESB in my garage and a few hours later I figured that I'd drop the temperature in the chest freezer down to 45 to inhibit the growth of any mold/mildew in since there was some condensation on the sides and bottom of the freezer. I couldn't remember which outlet of the controller controlled the heating and which did the cooling, but I was pretty sure I remembered how they were configured. I woke up this morning to check on it and the freezer was up to 120F because I'd gotten the outlets mixed up. That 50W reptile heater puts out more heat than I'd realized.
Don't do that.
