I seem to be having the opposite issue with temp than others. Mine seems to not get cold enough with my two 5 gal cornies and co2 tank in it.
To measure the temp I have a bottle of water with my brewing thermometer probe in it and it reads about 45 degrees. I have the fridge set near the "coldest" setting on the dial.
A little background on the fridge. I don't know the size, but I had to bend back the freezer section and ad a wooden collar to it to make enough room. After the modifications, I tested it and it went to below 40 when set to, according to the dial, one of its warmer settings. Even with one keg in it the temp seemed to be ok, but now with the second keg (which has been in there over a week and a half, it wont go below 45 with the fridge set to its lowest setting.
I tried to test my thermometer, I put the probe in a glass of ice water and it reads 38 degrees, is that close enough, or should it really be closer to 32?
Sorry for the long post, but my beer is undercarbed and a little warm, and I'm having a party this weekend to showcase my new setup.
so please help
