UOB why would you be turning up the temp if starting a cold crash? If you have the heating and cooling connected to your heat device and to the fridge, dialing it down to CC temps will only result in cooling? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. When I am cold crashing, I usually unplug the heat source. If you are remote, you cannot do that. So it is possible that your heater could kick-in during cold crash. However, you can remotely change the heating kick-in temperature difference. I normally set the temperature difference to about 0.3°C. That keeps my fermenter temperature pretty stable. However, once going to cold crashing, if your cold crash temperature is 1°C, you could set the heating temperature differential to say 5°C. There is almost no way your fermenting chamber will drop to -4°C, so the heater will not kick in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate exactly what I was asking and you explained what i could not ask properly. @kmar92kmar92 I just could not find the words to ask it properly shamus has answred it. I have not got the Wi-Fi model as would need a booster to reach the shed I brew in. Wasn't sure if could adjust the differentual or just the temp in general.

Or have I assumed wrongly that you have purchased a refrigerated air conditioner. thank you for the replys. my laundry is only 10ft x 10ft and with washing machine, work bench and tubs etc i only have enough room for the one fridge which houses my kegs. ive got solar and average $40 month credit so power usage is not a problem. so refrig air conditioner set on 24 degrees seeems to work ok. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
