I'm using a dual stage temperature controller with a carboy thermowell to control my chest freezer/ heat wrap during fermentation, but have run into temperature control issues.
The problem is by the time the cold or heat gets to the thermowell inside the carboy, the ambient temp inside the fridge is way too cold or way to hot. Then when the set temperature is hit and the cold/ heat is turned off, the temp continues to fall or rise because the ambient temp is so cold/ hot. There is quite a lag between the time the ambient temp gets to the right temperature vs the temperature inside the center of the fermenting wort in the carboy. I am having huge temperature swings back and forth.
Does anyone have suggestions to deal with this problem?
