$35 Lagerator

The freezer was free....I own a sports shop and it came filled with frozen buck lure. If you sold their pee they let you use the freezer for no charge. After the second year they went out of business and it sat in the storage area for almost 2 years. Since everything was always sealed and frozen it was like new inside and I just had to remove all the laminated propaganda from the outside and used goo gone to remove all the tape residue.
I had been using it with my Ranco controller but then needed that for my kegerator.

I snagged the Love controller off eBay for $35 all wired up in a project box with outlets and a nice long HD extension cord. It works great, I am lagering a Honey Kölsch in it rite now & have it set to 34º, it stays between 33º & 35º. I can fit one carboy and one corny or 3 corny's in it.
I mainly posted this because with the $49 price tag on a new love controller you can make a pretty inexpensive digital temperature controller that will control both heating and cooling for your lagerator or kegerator.

Sweet. Nothing like a used pee freezer . J/K. That’s a good score.

When I search for "love controller" on ebay, I get the adult ebay or nothing. Is there a different name to search for this controller, or do I have to get down and dirty?

Damn! So jealous!. Nice score.

Ok...you cant tell the joke and not deliver the punch line...What the hell did you find that is described as a "Love Controller" on adult eBay?

Now, I've actually purchased deer urine and can attest to its stinkitude. It's not an odor that I'd want associated with my beer. That being said, the container was well sealed to keep all the pissy goodness inside, but I can't help but think that you'd have at least one breach that would forever contaminater the space.

How's it smell?

It (pee) came frozen and packaged in a sealed plastic bags, no smells in the freezer at all

Check "temperature controller."

There are quite a few of them listed there now.
