I'm close to being ready to brew. I got the freezer off CL a few weeks ago, the Johnson A419 controller came in the mail today, and in a few days I'll get the equipment kit and other goodies SWMBO got me for my birthday that have been sitting upstairs for a couple weeks (painful to just have those sitting there in a box....I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas). The freezer will serve as a dedicated fermentation chamber. Now I'm just trying to figure out what the best way to run the temp controller into the freezer is (I imagine I'll let the temperature probe stay suspended in a jar of water once in the freezer). I've considered running the wire with the probe through the drain at the bottom of the freezer, but I'm not sure if I'm asking for trouble. I could drill a hole (in the side?) if I'm careful. The door closes around it when I just just run it into the freezer, though I wonder if that will be annoying dealing with it each time and whether I'm getting a good seal (I guess to get a good idea I could put a lantern inside and see if any light shines through when the temp probe wire closed in the door). For those of you who have tackled a similar issue, what have you done? Thanks for your help.
