Hi brewers, i have a very large fridge i bought just to brew (100Lt brews or less in). Its rather new and seems to work well in a normal state, however with such a large thermal mass it seems to leave the compressor on for longer than i think is kind.
also the rear of the fridge is sealed/covered not like an old fridge with the pipes etc open to air flow ( more like a freezer)
the cold plate inside freezes over then keeps running so i was thinking a fan to blow on it to move the temps around the inside the help cool the wort down and remove it from the chiller plate might be a good idea?
secondly a fan and a thin space over the rear of the fridge might help remove heat outside the fridge???
i think the fridge may have cut out due to over heating a few times - running so long to get to temp
any ideas?
