Fermentation Temps

[dustinthompson85]

I bought a temperature controller to hook up to a kegerator to hopefully control fermentation temps. My question is is 3 degrees too much fluctuation? Using the minimum settings inset it to 65 f but it will go as low as 62. Wasn't sure how much impact that would have. It would be more control than sitting in a closet in my house, but how much better would it really be? Thoughts?

Most controllers have an adjustment for that function,check the manual, if not, that is better than the beer shooting way high.

I used the manual to set it to a one degree variance. Still goes beyond that. Wasn't sure of that was normal or not. I didn't want to try really hard to get something that might not be realistic. I can be very literal at times.

I used a 2 setting, I think 3 is fine.
