New beer fridge: ferment and serve? Help!

[spiderwrangler]

I tried this setup with the parka and fermwrap in my fridge. This batch was an Oktoberfest so it worked well, but I had trouble getting above 62 degrees for my diacytal rest so I'm worried about getting to 68 for ales. Any suggestions other than raising my fridge temp, which would be ng for the food?

Um, take it out of the fridge?

Sometimes the simple fixes are the easiest...

I would like to maintain 68. If I take it out of the fridge, it gets to 72 in my house. Plus in the winter, I turn my heat down at night so I get big temperature swings.

There is nothing magic about 68 F for the diacetyl rest. It also works at 72. In fact, I do mine at 72 F quite often these days.
