Thanks for all the advice :)

Thanks for all the responses. It's got me on the right track now. As far as probe placement, where should I put it? I've seen threads where some put it directly into the fermenter, some put it in a glass of water and leave it in the chest freezer and others where they put the probe inside the...

Why yes I do...didn't even contemplate that as an idea....thanks! Im assuming you've used this and it works well? Any tips/tricks regarding that kind of heater?

Can I use a splitter to attach 2 ferm wraps to the controller? I would like to have two ferm wraps and the chest freezer controlled by 1 unit. Thanks in advance!

I hope so! I ordered them on Friday so maybe mid week I will get them in. It's exciting making a setup. Can't wait for it all to be hammered out so I can start the fun part!

First off, this is my first time posting. I have been on hbt for about 2 weeks now. What a wealth of information. Getting back to my topic, a family member gave me this keg today. Ive been trying to figure out how to take out the fittings so i can clean the inside. It says Firestone on it but i...
