If it's a dedicated beer fridge, why don't you put a ranco on it and keep the keep at 50F instead of 30ish.

ETA: you may be able to simply raise the temp of the fridge up to the highest setting and accomplish this as well.


Yeah, i guess i could. I didn't before because i didn't want to drop 100 on another temp controller. I have a johnson on my ferm fridge.

I built a two temp stage controller (will heat and cool) for my ferm fridge this week using an STC 1000 controller for under $35.

Only draw back is all temps are in Celsius and that requires math.

If you do a search on HBT or YouTube for 'STC 1000' you will find all sorts of info.

Bug, I'm not about to question your findings from your aged beers, but I don't think the fridge is the problem, unless it doesn't work properly and wildly fluctuates in temperature.

I've stored beer in a closet for years now, and I don't recall any that suffered from it. I think a stable temp may be more important than an exact temp
