    I used this slightly unfinished Son of Fermentation Chiller for a couple batches and it worked really well. I'm sure it will work even better finished! I have (included) the dowels and molding needed to finish it - easy enough. I have a Chronical with FTSs now, so just don't need this. See the build plans in the link below for info on the molding and dowels (not my plans, I just followed them). Like I said, it works well as it is now.

    $25 UPDATE: Now FREE!

    Pick up only. 03304
    PM me.

    I used these instructions to build it:

    The only modification was using a digital thermostat as described here:
    http://www.wortomatic.com/articles/Remote-Sensing-DIY-Controller-for-Less-Than-$25

    I used the expensive extruded polystyrene, not the cheap pink/blue stuff. From memory, I think I paid at least $40 for the foam board.

    Fermenter NOT included.

    Bump. Somebody must want to control fermentation temps on the cheap!

    As it is it only cools? Would a heater (even just a can-light bulb) be easy to add with the current controls?

    I would be all over this if you were closer to Delaware. GLWS!

    Right, as-is it just cools.

    Yes, I think it would be easy to add a can light or similar with the current controls. The digital thermostat should be able to control both heating and cooling. I can't imagine the wiring would be difficult.

    You NH boys need to jump on this. I've been using the SoFC for over 10 years, and it's one of the best, most economical fermentation chambers I can imagine.
