The modifications I've made to my temperature control (putting my cold water reservoir in my mini refrigerator) are not working out well. So far, the control seems to have trouble keeping the beer below 68 during fermentation. That isn't so bad for the Belgian blonde I'm doing right now, but I like some of my other beers to ferment cooler. I may consider looking for a larger reservoir.
I'm also considering changing the placement of my temperature probe. Right now I have it attached to the carboy below the first couple inches of beer. But I've notice my temperature readings near the bottom of my carboy are about 8 degrees cooler than near the bottom couple of inches. Something to look into later.
