Hello,
I am a new homebrewer and was wondering if someone else was experiencing the same with the Inkbird ITC-308 as I do. I use a chest freezer as my fermentation chamber, plug it with an ITC-308 to control the temperature.
I set my inkbird at 68 degrees and put the probe inside the freezer , hanging on the air. I have noticed that the temperature swings by a lot more than the 2 degrees HC/CD I have it set. Example, I observed my temperature go all the way down to 61 degrees, which scares me as being too cold. It does come back up to 68, but it takes a few minutes or so.
Is that normal or does everyone else’s Inkbird temperature fluctuations stay much closer to the set temperature?
I am just wondering if it’s a defective unit.
Also, I have it set as 0 for PT, is that recommended?
Thanks!
