Hi Everyone,
I picked up a Sanyo 4912 fridge for fermenting/lagering a few months back, it was in basically like-new condition when I bought it and I have had no problems using it in the ale fermentation temp range. I have a Johnson Controls A419 (from NB) to help with temp control.
I am using it now to lager a Marzen and it seems to be unable to get below 46-48degrees (SP=38, AsD=10,dif=2). I've checked the door and the seal seems pretty tight. I'm also running the temp probe through the drain hole so that it doesn't have to come through the door. I have noticed ice formation on the cooling panel in the upper freezer region, but I don't know if this is problematic or not.
I am thinking about getting a box of Damp-Gone to see if that helps with potential humidity problems/icing over. Has anyone else had similar problems? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
