    I am trying to get my new Keezer set up before the weekend. I hope to bottle a batch of Dortmunder Sunday and I need to Lager it. I got a 5.1 Cu Ft freezer and I am using an STC-1000 controller. I am having a hard time in getting the hysteresis feathered out. I have the Controller set for 4.4 Celsius (40 F). I have it set at 0.5 Celsius differential. The problem is the cooler comes on at the set point and goes of in about 3 to 4 minutes. Then the temperature creeps down to around –0.7 Celsius (33 F) Can anyone tell me how I can close this gap a little? I tried the sensor in the bottle trick and that made it worst.
