Temperature Control Questions

[An Ankoù]

OK. Groundwater no longer chills my beer sufficiently and we're in the thirties for an extended period.

I've got two old but working fridges, which I use for malt storage. Both have an ice compartment which is accessed via an external door (ie, it's a two door fridge) and I've got an Inkbird temperature controller.

Q1: Can I use one of these fridges or do I need to fork out and buy a larder fridge?
Q2: When setting up the controller, I press set for 3 seconds and then set the target temperature (SV), I then press set again. The flow chart shows a whole range of settings, one after the other. Do I have to set them all or is it enough just to set the SV?

Thanks in advance.

You can use any fridge..dunno if you need a heater too..probably not. Yeah,I just set the inky to whatever I need.. I think I put the temp difference at +-1degree..put a lump of sponge on the fv and put the probe behind.

All sorted. Thanks Clint.
Seems to be working very well. Ice box gets cold but doesn't freeze so I'll certainly find a use for that.
