    I was wondering what some of your on and off cycles were for your homemade fermentor?

    I have heard that you only want it to kick on about once an hour. I think my chamber has a bunch of "leak" areas, but it kicks on about 20-25 minutes and then off for 35-40. I place my probe on the carboy with tape and bubblewrap and have a temp differential of 2 degrees
