Is it water proof? Can I put it in a vial of gel-type freezer pack stuff? (I have lots of it from AHS). That might even out it's on-off cycling without having to tape it to the fermenters with insulation like I'm doing now. (that doesn't do me right if I tape it to something too warm, etc.)
ranco two stage sensor. Can it go in jar of goop?

Yes. I've done this on two of my projects and highly recommend it.

All I did w/ my temp probe was wrap it in a couple of paper towels and then wraped a zip lock bag around that and taped it w/ packing tape. I think just simply insulating the probe helps to even out the temp swings during cycling. I have the delta set on the ranco for 5 degrees plus minus, but I doubt the kegs of beer vary by more than a degree or two??
