Ok, I tried the sensor in a glass thing, but the glass is too close to the cooling plate (wire is only 3" long). I extended the temp sensor 18" and put it in a glass of water on top of the keg. That made a major difference. Beer is still a little warm (39F) but much better than 43-45F. I think the problem is the cycle of this cooler. As soon as it gets to 34F, it starts to warm and continues to warm to 47F. I can't wait for my new controller to get here to cut the differential down to +-2F. Set a 36 and should swing from 34 to 38. Also I purchased a 15cfm blower. I want to run a hose up the tower to get cold air up there. Not sure how far up the tower I should run the hose, so a little experimenting is in store for me. Also, not sure if the rubber coating on the Pony Keg (MGD) is hampering the cold saturation. If this keeps up, I'll hsve more money tied up in upgrades than I have in the original Purchase!
