I suspect that the Fridgemate NTC SS Probe (one you can immerse in wort), is not as accurate as the original probe that is supplied with the Fridgemate - due to the NTC probes sheer size/inertia!
Brought a digital stick therm. from T@@@y for $30, and have currently four 25L fermentors in my two shelf converted fridge (which is monitored by the Fridgemate - with NTC SS probe in fermentors)
Every day throughout day, I record the temps of all fermentors by immersing NTC SS probe in each of the liquids (2-3 min), then check temp in fermentors with stick therm (from T@@@y) and original probe that comes with Fridgemate (2-3 min immersion time).
I have concluded that the NTC probe on my Fridgemate needs correction of + or - 1 degree C (as Fridgemate does not measure increments of 1/2 a degree).
