I'm currently fermenting a kolsch in the warm summer months here in CO. It's in my upright freezer that has an analog temperature controller operating the temperature. I thought I remember reading somewhere that you want to put the thermometer into a glass of water inside the freezer and then adjust the analog thermostat. I did this and the freezer will remain off for about 24-36 hours at a time. I have a thermometer inside the freezer and it reads around 70 degrees after the freezer has been off for quite sometime, but the water still feels about 55-60 degrees, definitely colder than the 80 degree garage. When the freezer does kick on, the inside air temps drop to about 35 degrees until it can cool that water down again.
I'm worried that the freezer is staying too cold at times driving the water and beer temps below about 55 degrees.
Any thoughts?
