Hello,
I read the thread on the build using one of these units and it looks like a good buy. Before I buy one of these I wanted to make sure it is worth the time and money to buy, build and use but I'd hate then find out the hard way it is a mediocre product compared to some of the more popular controllers like the LOVE unit. I talked to the people at Dwyer instruments and the the guy told me to stay away from PVC/plastic thermistor which this one appears to have. The guy says they are junk and SS or brass is the way to go. I tend to trust their judgement since they sell many types, all the same price (10.00) and he recommeneded to stay away from PVC/plastic.
Those of you that have these can you please confirm (or deter that) it is a unit worth buying for a fermenter temp controller build....or should I spen the money and buy a LOVE controller.
Thanks for the help
Joe
