All,
My keezer is set to 36 degrees. I've wondered why my beer seems much warmer than that, so this morning I decided to draw off half a glass of one that's been sitting in there since Thursday. Before I kegged it, it was cold crashing in my fermenter.
Short of it is my keezer is set to 36 degrees with a controller, but the beer is measuring at 51 degrees. Another keg that is in the same keezer is sitting at 46 degrees. What gives? Should I drop my controller down another 10 degrees to see if I can get it colder? My probe is free hanging in the keezer, so I know that's not the best way to measure the liquid, but how can I get a more accurate picture to what the temp is of the actual beer? 36 degree ambient doesn't seem like it's cutting it...
Thanks!
