For some inexplicable reason, I cannot seem to figure out how to set a reasonable temperature with my new build, and I am wondering if anyone had this issue. I turn the little doohickey about 3/4 of the way and the temperature (by way of thermometer) reads around 44-46. I turn it what I believe to be a millimeter to the right and the temp plummets to 32 or below and bad things happen, not to mention that the chill plate freezes and the fridge runs what seems to be forever. The only logical explanation I have is that based on the thermal mass in the unit and the fact that I am using a (temporary) steel CO2 tank. I have hooked up a Johnson A419 digital controller because why not spend more money, but I was just wondering if anyone had this experience or another solution.
Aside from that, I would like to say that after a week of operation, the copper pipe (1 in.) works great, it keeps the tower surprisingly cold, and with my "stock" 5' beer lines, the beer comes out cold and without foaming issues. The entire thing is awesome.
