Ok, I finally got around to getting a small fan for my kegerator, and it didn't work. The cool air is still not making it up the tower. I don't know how to calibrate the thermometer, but I did try with another thermometer and got the same results. The gl*** of water I keep in the kegerator reads 36 degrees, the first gl*** I pour reads 44 degrees, and after pouring off 2 pint gl***es of mostly foam, the third gl*** reads at 37 degrees. I really can't afford a new kegerator, and It pains me to pour off so much good beer. Since the small fan inside the kegerator isn't working, what other options do I have to cool the tower?

On a side note, somehow I didn't shut the door to the kegerator the other night and the external temp controler that I use was reading 56 degrees for the temperature. I am guessing that the door was open for about 16 hours. will allowing the keg to warm up for that long spoil the beer?

Thanks so much!
Mike
