Any chest freezer experts out there? I'm using one as a fermentation chamber and have an Auber TD 100 temp. controller. I have just been testing this tonight and find that I'm chasing the temp quite a bit although my actual temp isn't moving much.
I'm using a small piece of bubble wrap with the sensor pressed against the plastic Speidel fermenter with some tape.
My settings are 65 cold set point and hot set point is 61. The differential is set to 2 degrees and the anti short point is set to 5 minutes.
The actual water temp has been floating around 67.5-68, again, I have only run this test for a couple of hours and I'm not sure how long to expect a normalization of temps.
The problem during testing this was that the controller would kick on at 65 and drop the temp to ~60 or so and start to climb back up. It would get up to 67 and kick back on. This repeated a couple times each hour and never seemed to equalize and run less.
Maybe this is normal?
