Hello,
I am just wrapping up a kegorator build, and I will have to work around the broken parts of the fridge I pulled apart. It seems that the fridge parts have a broken temp sensor, as none of the settings ever turn off. I tested that the new box is getting cold with a cup of water and thermometer.
(The test accidentally had a positive result when I left the cup in there overnight....and it was frozen solid next day.)
Sooo....the condenser is working, the new box is holding temps, it is just the sensor now.
I have my regular form of temp control, but these boxes only go to a low of 44F. To me that is great/fine for serving beer. No idea why I would want a beer in the 30's.
But...what about lagering? I am guessing that 40'sF should be ok, but a lot of articles mention colder.
So what is a good middle of the road temp for a kegorator that will also be my lagering area?
