I have a chest freezer I use as a fermentation chamber. I have two carboys I can fit in there. One carboy holds 6 gallons, the other holds just over 5. The result is that the smaller carboy gets a little bit colder when the compressor kicks on.
So far I've been taping my temperature sensor to the side of one of the carboys with a piece of foam sponge used as backing to provide some insulation. I'm wondering if this is the best approach, or if I should just let the sensor hang in some of the open space in the freezer.
Thought I would survey the HBT community to see what some common practices are.
