Sorry I'm sure it's been asked. I've been looking at temperature controllers for brightening/fermentation since I've come across a free chest freezer. My only requirement is that I *really* don't want to modify the freezer.
I have seen two types of controllers: Ranco and Johnson. I'm looking for a model that you can plug your freezer directly into (ie no wiring required). Does anyone know the part number for this for either of these brands?

Pigs are fantastic creatures. They convert vegetables into bacon.
Get a digital. The analogs are cheaper but have a wider swing and aren't as precise.
Also, get a dual output. This way you can also use a heating element. With the dual output you can dial in your temps and have the fermenter be within 1 degree of the setting no matter what the temp is outside.
No need for a thermowell. I get great results by just taping the probe to the side of the fermenter.
Fermentation Temperature Controller?
