    I am looking to make a fermentation chamber out of chest freezer and need help with selecting a temperature controller. I have zero electrical skills so I am looking for a controller that I can plug into the wall and then plug the freezer into that. I have seen a couple on the forum but the model was not listed. Thanks for your help!

    Don't think I will need the heater, I am going to put it in the basement and it rarely gets below 68. I have a batch of ale that went nuclear on me, hitting 78 so I had to move it into a water bath.

    for the price and the absolute ease of wiring I would go with the ebay aquarium temp controller. yes it is a 2 stage but it will work fine as a single. and at under 30 bucks it is a steal. I wired mine and I am a complete klutz with anything electronic.
