Just wanted to share my upright freezer to fermentation chamber conversion. To kick it off, the all important links that helped me immensely through this project.
The Wiring Diagram and Programing Info for the love controller:

More Programing Help (ClaudiusB is the man):

Boerderij_Kabouter's side by side:

Grabbed up this upright freezer from a local reconditioning guy here in Brooklyn for $150. I went with the TSS2-2100 with the TS-1 probe (I order the TS-21 probe but was on back order). Like Boerderij_Kabouter, I picked up a small space heater from HD. I decided to wire in an extension cord for the heater so I can remove it for cleaning.
The wiring diagram (thanks to Boerderij_Kabouter)
Thermostat
Dissembled Thermostat
The evaporator, fan and wiring was conveniently located all together.
The Power (blue) and the Switch Wire (red) to the compressor
Used a dremel
If you notice the black charred connector. I definitely learned how not to measure Amperage with my multimeter.
The work space. Got my imperial stout (11%) and my safety glasses on top of the chamber.
