I did the exact same thing as TomSD on my unit. Although I haven't had any questionable incidents with lid (yet) I agree that the plate idea to add strength at the collar-hinge attachment joint is warranted. It may be something I will do if I run into a situation where I have to make a change...

I am not too worried about a condensation issue with the STC-1000 seeing as the gap between the 2 terminals (hot, and neutral) is quite large respectively. It doesn't really get humid inside my keezer (yet, but its only winter), just the side walls get frosted over during the cooling cycles...

I have 2 of these temp controllers and I keep both of them submerged in a 44oz cups of water and I have not had any issues. No thermowell is necessary, but if you want to be safe and don't mind spending the time, or money you could do that. I keep the cup of water close to the better bottles...

Thanks for Tom SD for starting this post. I just got mine up and running the other day and so far this is one of the best investments I have made. Not as nice as some of the other keezer's I've seen, but it works.

Thanks for the replies... I am looking into them now.

A co-worker of mine had an idea for a beer that I find interesting enough to possibly pursue. I am new to all grain (only one under my belt and it's only in primary). I was hoping that some of you more experienced guys could possibly steer me in some direction that would be helpful. I would be...

BUMP! I would really like to find out how this comes out, and also what the final recipe is because I have been wanting to do a pumpkin hef. Hope the brew is fantastic!

At this point I think putting casters would be nice, but not necessary. My garage floor allows for easy sliding of the unit, and the added height that the casters bring wouldn't allow me to use the top as a shelf for my brewing equip. Regarding the foam I used rigid styrofoam on the inside...

I do not have any fans installed at this time, but they are on order, as well as the 12VDC power supply. I have the ferm bucket at the far end of the chamber, and the thermister inside a 44oz cup of water at the center of the chamber. The difference from the ferm bucket and the...

Here is the schematic for what I did as well... pretty much the same as everyone else's, but I opted for 2 plugs per cycle (hot - cool).

Jasper, thanks for the reply. Hindsight being 20/20 I would have just ran the cable from the my common box to the outside with enough cable to plug in to the wall to avoid the safety hazard. Guess I can just put a cover on the box and wire in the cable. Clem- Thanks for the reply, and if...

Just a few more

Hello all... like the title says this is post numero uno. My first major homebrew project was this chamber. Came out how I wanted it too just hope that it will regulate the way I had planned out in my head. The chamber is big enough to house 6 6 gallon ferm buckets/carboys, and tall...
