So I'm starting to look for a good sized used upright freezer I can use for fermenting and conditioning...
I know there are a lot of external temp controllers out there that are plug and play.. but I was hoping to do something a little more elegant and less expensive.. I want to be able to control the whole freezer for cooling, and then have individual carboy blankets for heating...
So, what's the deal with these 'love' controllers everyone talks about? I think they're fairly cheap (like 30 bucks if I recall), and definitely elegant, but I'm not sure what all they do as they come...
Is it just a matter of hooking them up in line? Or do I need to have them control a mag switch or some other contactor/relay?
Can they be used for heating and or cooling? Or am I not understanding what they do?
Can someone point me to their website for more tech info and also some sources to buy them?
