Hello all,
New to home brewing here and just finished making my first batch with from an extract kit and put it into my fermentation chamber in a plastic bucket, which is a chest freezer and ferm wrap plugged into the WiFi Inkbird 308. I drilled out and installed a Thermowell in the center of the bucket lid at about a height that will read the temp in the center of the wort. The issue I seem to be having is overshooting both the heating and cooling by as much as 4-5 degrees. I’m assuming this is because by the time the temp changes all the way on the center the outsides have gotten much warmer or colder. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations to correct this issue? Thank you in advance!
