What is the average temp range? Meaning, does it keep the beer really cold?

Mine is currently sitting at 40 Fahrenheit/5 Celsius, and it maintains that easily. It can go lower, but I leave it on that.

First, I keep mine at 63 for red wine, but when I lower the temp, it goes down pretty quickly. It is not a refrigerator, but an air cooler, it does not have a compressor.I

I live in Florida. For ales I brew, cooling the fermenter by putting it into a deep basin like a cat litter box, wrapping the fermenter with a bath towel and wetting the towel as well as having its bottom edge in the basin, which I fill with water works well. This "swamp cooler" will cool the fermenter about 10 degrees Fahrenheit below the room temperature. For pilsner or other lagers, I place the fermenter inside a chest freezer whose temperature is controlled with a Johnson temperature controller. Thus I can achieve a 60 degree primary fermentation, a 50 decree secondary fermentation and a 35 to 40 degree lagering temperature. Without temperature control, you can't make lager beers.

I dont know, it didnt get above 32 here. However I dont see how it would, it seems to be a constant heat source. Mine just couldnt handle the cold apparently, it froze through the first night.

Yes, I'm using it right now in cool room (60-65°F) keeping my brew 71-72°F. The range of the thermostat is limited, but in the range needed for most ale brews.

it work great in my garage. but a open porch, and real cold may not work. i get it up to 80 in my garage. and i love it.

It is a compressor and it will get very cold. Will easily freeze beer at lower settings. It works very well and holds pretty constant temperatures.

Mine's been set at 55 degrees since I got it a few months ago. Holding temp. great so far. No complaints. Have it about 3'4 full of wine at the present time.

I brew my own stout, it's not guiness, but to answer your question. I like to keep 33 to 36 degrees, of course the stock thermostat is not that accurate. I run 35 psi.

Yes, there is a temperature knob. The settings are min, med, max. I have two of these units, and they both get sufficiently cold for beverages.

Depends on temperature. Mine was 3-4 weeks in the primary fermenter because I put it in the unheated garage, and it never got over about 45 degrees Fahrenheit during that period. My favorite critic agrees with Tony - cold fermenting makes a better beer.

There is no adjustment whatsoever for the temperature. It actually does a pretty good job of keeping stuff Cool, but once it starts get in well into the nineties it definitely struggles. In general, it just keep stuff about 30 to 40 degrees cooler than it is outside. It's basically a nice cooler with a heat exchanger on it. It's primarily good for soft drinks and your sandwiches and things like that but no adjustment whatsoever. Hope that helps

I found that the frige keeps items very cold. We used it when we had our floors redone and it was outside in the summer time heat.It's now in the garage storing beer and soft drinks.It runs a bit loud but if you are not sleeping near it it's fine.

I'm not sure about a temp "range", however, I have the knob in the middle of the temp selector and it's really cold.

52~65°F. It's designed for wine, so it's not as cold as regular refrigerators.

I honestly don't know. Maybe very low temp to keep warm, but really not sure, sorry.
