Hello everyone. So I'm looking to buy a temp controller for fermenting in a mini fridge and after a lot of research I feel more confused. I have also kicked around the idea of kegging and building a keezer for this with temp control. Thirdly, I have thought about designing a HERMS system that works with an electric water heater element.
All three of these projects would need a temp controller and I'm thinking I could get away with buying only two instead of three. I was thinking if one was not hardwired to the fermentation chamber or the keezer I could take it off of this for a few hours and use it on the HERMS while brewing. This means that I would have to have it wired with an outlet or extension cord type setup so that I don't have to rewire everytime.
So I'm looking at a Ranco ETC-111000, Johnson A419 and various Love controllers (these confuse me right now). Which would be the best for a "mobile" setup where I could easily switch the controller to a HERMS for a few hours? Which are cheapest in the end? Thanks!
