Converted fridge fermenter TC-10 sensor position?

[beerboy]

Anyone know where the sensor should be positioned? :hmm:
I have it in the fridge sitting on top of the fermenting bin, TC-10 set to 20C but I have a sneaking suspicion that the sensor should be inside the fermenter. :wha:

For my fermenter temp controller the Sensor is in the FV . . . For my Kegereezer, in the freezer compartment next to the coldest part of the freezer.

Oh . . . and welcome to the forum Ian . . . good to see another Blackpool brewer on here :lol:

Cheers Aleman, now its 4 days into a 10 days primary ferment @20C would you leave sensor where it is for this brew or pop it into the fermenter? Just thinking it may cool down wort 1 or 2 degrees if I do it now.

Leave it where it is . . . the 'heat' of fermentation has passed now, all you would be doing is increasing the risk of an infection . . .Your beer may have been a couple of degrees higher, but it won't have too much effect
