hi guys, this may be right out of left field, i have set up my fermenting fridge/freezer, i am using the mashmate digital temp controller, now at the moment i am only breeding up my yeast starter from a coopers pale, its a 1 litre starter and is going nicely after 3 days, one thing i have noticed is although i have temp controller set to 18 deg the jar with stick on temp indicator varies from 16 deg to 18 deg, now this is not much but i am wondering if i put some clay pavers on the rack of the fridge which has the jar sitting on, and later the fermentor, will they hold a more stable temp than the air inside the fridge ,and while the fermentor sits on these pavers transmitting the cool temp to the bottom of my wort give it a more stable temp, think about it the pavers would not lose temp or increase temp as quick as the air inside the fridge due to the on/off cycle of the temp controller. just a thought here, seems like a reasonable assumption
