I use the stainless thermowell for the carboy from more beer. The temp probe never touches the beer.

When I cold crashed my beer the temp controller caused the beer to freeze. When the beer was frozen the temp read 168. When I removed the temp probe the temp dropped to around 100. Does anyone know how to reset the controller?

I just scored a 14cf chest freezer from Home Depot for $225 because it had a small dent on the lid. My question is should I spend the extra money for a digital external temp controller or just buy an analog one?

I have made multiple starters with wyeast and I always smack the pack. It can't hurt.

This is what I have and it's works great. Are you going to use this to control fermentation temps? http://morebeer.com/products/ranco-digital-twostage-temperature-controller-wired.html?site_id=5

You should buy these three things, expensive but well worth the money. I am able to control the temperature within 1 degree. It will make a big difference in your finished beer and helps prevent off flavors...

There is nothing like the smell of the mash, plus its a good reason to sit around an drink beer with friends.
