Just went down to check the pilsner. The chest freezer was not running and the temp on the Ranco says 69. I was afraid the motor on the freezer failed, so I plugged it in directly and it does kick in. I'm afraid it is something with the Ranco. A few questions in no particular order.
1. Has anyone had this problem with the Ranco controller before? The digital readouts and buttons still work. It seems like there is some sort of failure with the probe.
2. If the controller is not viable (i.e. cannot be fixed), what brand and model of controller do you recommend.
3. Most importantly, what can I expect from this lager since it appears to have fermented out in less than optimal conditions?
