Thanks.
I guess the AC control makes sense when you put it that way:compressor must be on or off. Hope that fan doesn't blow dust and crap all over the place... I don't think I could get the partial styrofoam fan shroud back onto it now.
I think that for me, installing the cooler fittings through the lid, that I will want to use the cam locks rather than direct plumb. How do you seal off the thermowell for the cooler? Thinking just some silicone caulking.
Seems like that lip, during a vigorous fermentation would permit krausen to rise about the lip, but below the lid, and would likely then be very difficult/impossible to clean. I think I'm going to try and trim away as much as possible.
I bought a can of the clear sealant spray when we were all discussing the air tightness and gaskets a while back. It's that stuff from the info-mercial where he sprays a screen door installed at the bottom of a boat then goes out into the lake with it. Not sure I'm going to use it or if it is food safe. Actually got it for a gutter leaking onto my pool deck, but thought it might help seal the lid insert.
