I'm brewing a hopslam clone and recently hooked up an ITC-1000 to our extra fridge. I was thinking of keeping the air temp inside the fridge to about 60 degrees. Should be ok, yeah?
Jay, what options do you have for a thermowell in a carboy? Is the only option to use one of those orange "universal" carboy caps with the 2 holes? Those don't seal very well which is why I have never gotten a thermowell, but I'm interested to know if there's alternative methods.
I have up to 3 carboys fermenting in a deep freezer at a time so a thermowell isn't practical. I have a 1 gallon jug filled with water that I drop the probe in and set temp to the low end of the recommended temp range. Trying to regulate the ambient temp will have the freezer running non stop and in short cycles which is tough on the compressor.
