Hi All,
Proud new owner of a 20 cu ft. freezer from Craigs List.
I picked up a Johnson Analog controller.
I have a couple quick questions:
1. The datasheet I found on the internet
http://cgproducts.johnsoncontrols.com/MET_PDF/2476642578.pdf
Says to mount it on a vertical surface. Is this really necessary? I have it just sitting on the top of the fridge.
2. Since it has a 4 deg differential, should I go ahead and just put it at the high range of the selected yeast? I.E. 68 deg --> 64 deg = average of 66 deg?
3. Last, my LHBS where I bought it suggested that I turn it a few deg under what I want due to the increase in temp during high activity fermentation, then turn it up when it it dying down. This is to compensate for the "friction" of the fermentation during the initial phase which will raise the temperature? Is this true.
Thanks in advance
