Ok my issue is that I have an stc-1000 on the fridge, but its a pain to have to go and adjust by 0.5 of a degree every day when I am doing a pils or lager, sometimes I away for a couple of days and it slows down my whole process.
Anyone even seen a device or mod that would allow me to reduce temp over time?

Some time in the future I will have made the "FridgeDuino" basically a fermenting/lagering/Coldchilling fridge time line controller that will run a time/temp profile over 6 or 8 weeks

HOWEVER, don't hold your breath waiting for this !!

So in the meantime my cider is just thrown outside for a few months to enjoy the climate massage effects that ONLY an Oirish winter can impart to embryonic cider

Did I mention Spartan babys in a previous thread??
