My problem is a bit more severe than the post below...
I am finding that my fermenters ice up resulting in concentrated beer. The temp is set at 0C (32F), but the temp readig says it is sitting at about 3-4C. If I recirc the beer with CO2 and turn the glycol off, the temp reading starts to drop quickly. It looks like warmer beer (sometimes as high as 6C) is getting trapped in the cone where the temp probe is, below the glycol jacket.
Anyone else had this experience? Do I need to lift the glycol temp (in the resevoir) or increase my temp set point?
