As I was setting up my ferment chamber late last night, after pitching my two batches, I remembered I had a 4 channel datalogger handy and decided to hook it up and start logging my fermentation. I have one thermocouple on each fermenter and one in free air in the chamber. Here's what it looked like the first day:
You can see that each time the AC kicks on you get a big negative spike in the chamber temp. Since only one temp controller is controlling the chamber I had to pick which fermenter to attach it to. In this case I chose the Union Jack clone. The dry stout is just along for the ride, but it's tracking quite nicely. Both started fermenting quickly. You can see the temp rise starting almost immediately, with the dry stout actually taking off a bit faster.
There's some weirdness going on starting at 18hrs with the AC cycling on/off much more rapidly all of a sudden. Time-wise it was right around when I got home for work, so I might have shifted things around and caused the screw up. The AC doesn't seem to be cycling on-off so quickly at the moment. I'll have to keep an eye on that.
