Hi guys, I have a temperature problem in my keezer.
It won't get below around 12oc. I have an stc 1000 set to 9oc and it was working ok until the weather has gotten warmer.
The compressor is constantly on, and getting very hot. I have set the thermostat to 120c now just to give the compressor a break, but this is meaning very foamy, unpourable beer.
I have tested the gas pipes for leaks with a sniffer and there is no leak. The freezer is working, as there is a small patch of ice at the back of the inside.
I have insulated the inside of the wooden collar with selitec.
Its a small chest freezer which only just fits 4 corny kegs with just room in the centre for a bottle which I fill with water to stick the probe in.
Does anyone have any ideas what I should do ? . I have a 240 volt fan (see pic ) which I thought about fitting to the inside of the lid. Would this help ? Or do I need to reduce it to 2 kegs at a time to allow more air to circulate about ?
I'm a bit out of my depth here, and with my 40th birthday in 2 weeks, with a big party planned I really would Like to serve nice , un foamy beer to people .
Thanks in advance , Matt
