Hi guys,
I just got a Johnson Controls analog temperature controller. The manual says that there is a 4 degree window of operation. That way the refrigeration unit is not constantly cycling on and off. I have read that I should tape the probe next to the carboy, and even cover it with bubble wrap to insulate it. If I do this though won't it mean that my fermenting beer will also have a 4 degree variance in temp??If I set the temp at 68, the compressor will run until the temp goes down to 64? It just seems that a 4 degree swing is a lot. Please help me understand this...Thanks. Al
